A hurler is a slang term for a pitcher in baseball. ERA stands for Earned Run Average and is a statistic for pitchers that shows the number of 'earned' runs a pitcher allows for every nine innings. An earned run is a run that is scored without the help of an error or passed ball. One might think that the earned run average of a pitcher is similar to that of the batting average of a hitter.
ERA is known as earned run average, a stat used for pitchers. The lower the number, the better he is.
It's no surprise that the best career ERAs belong to pitchers who played during the so-called "dead ball era". Ed Walsh had a career ERA of 1.82, the lowest of all pitchers with a minimum of 1000 innings pitched; he played from 1904 to 1917. Addie Joss had a career ERA of 1.89 compiled from 1902 to 1910; he is the only other major league pitcher with a career ERA below 2.00 (with at least 1000 IP).
The ERA has never been passed officially.
