ERA stands for Earned Runs Average and is used to evaluate how often a picthers gives up runs.

An earned run is any run that the opponent scores except for runs scored as a result of errors.\n\nERA is calculated with this formula:\n\n(Earned Runs / Innings Pitched) * 9\n\nSo if a pitcher has allowed 22 earned runs in 93 innings, he has an ERA of (22 / 93) * 9 = 2.13

There are a lot of sites with MLB stats. Start here:\nhttp://www.sportsline.com/mlb/stats\nhttp://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/statistics\n\nI have NO idea what "reuseted" means, so I don't know if those sites have those stats.

It might be kind of interesting if you kept track of HRs and Ks for both pitchers and hitters. As it is, it doesn't sound like much I would be interested in.

What "babe's record" are you talking about?\n\nIf you mean Homeruns, that record belongs to Hank Aaron.\n\nGeorge Herman Ruth's homeruns are meaningless when it concerns the #1 record of all time.\n\nwho cares about breaking the #2 record when it means nothing.

Each position on the field has a number .... when you here that string of numbers it tells you who touched the ball ... such as the short stop fielded the hit and threw it to the second baseman for an out who then threw it to the first baseman for an out.

Cell Name      Entry\nA1 =           Number Hits\nB1 =           Number of Times At Bat\nA2 =           A1/B1 = batting average.  \n\nIf you want it to be in batting average form you should right click on A2 and choose "Format Cells".  Once inside that menu, click number and then put a 3 in the decimal places box.  Enjoy!

less then 2 outs, runners on 1st and 2nd or bases loaded. the fly has to be considered a routine fly ball in the infield.

I don't remember the reasoning for the stat being taken away, think it was in the late 80's or early 90's. The only reason i can think of is that it was a meaningless stat if you think about it. Hit a solo HR in the first and win 1-0, you got the GWRBI. Kinda goofy.

This is an unusual situation but this is how it is handled.  All of the runs that the reliever gives up are earned for the reliever.  However, in the official team stats, the runs are recorded as unearned.  This doesn't happen often but that is how the stats are recorded.

Well I think there's pieces of truth in each of the answers but maybe this will clear it up.......In baseball a Putout is given to a player who holds the ball when the out is recorded. (An outfielder catches a pop up = PO, a first baseball catches the ball and tags 1st on a force play = PO) An assist is given to a player who throws the ball in a play that results in an out. (A SS throws to 1b who tags 1st, SS gets an Assist, 1b gets a PO.  If a RF throws home and C tags out runner, RF gets assist, C gets PO) So by definition, on a strikeout, the catcher is the player holding the ball when an out is recorded, therefore the C gets a PO on a strikeout.  If he drops the ball and throws the runner out at 1st, its an assist. If he tags the runner, its a PO. A pitcher does not get an assist on a strikeout however.

mean is the average of the data, mode is the data that repeats the most.

Fielder's choice counts as an at-bat, but not a hit if the batter reaches first base or not.  Batting average is calculated by dividing at-bats into hits or hits/at-bats.  E.g. 150/450 = .333 batting average.\n\nI would also like to add that walks and sacrifices do count as plate appearances, but do not factor into at-bats.  I think number of plate appearances define eligibility for batting average leaders.

If a batter comes to the plate with runners already on base, hits the ball and runners score, he is credited with an RBI for each run scored or (Run Batted In)\n\nhttp://bestsportsdirect.com  Baseball hitting sticks on sale now!

I think it's when the pitcher comes in with a 3-run lead or less, or perhaps when the lead is 4 and there are runners on base. Let me check.....\n\n============================================================\nEDIT: OK, here is some info:\n\nRule 10.20 credits a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: \n(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and \n(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and \n(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: \n(a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or \n(b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or \n(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.\n============================================================\n\nI guess if the reliever pitches the last 3 innings and came in up by 4 (and didn't blow the lead), then he can earn a save.

No, this is actually a losing strategy.  Speedsters aren't necessarily good for  average.  Closers aren't necessarily good for ERA or WHIP.  Especially in the case of closers, to get the good ones, you have to use your high draft picks.  You are better off picking better position players, (infield, especially SS, 2b), since there isn't a lot of depth, compared to others (OF, 3B, CL)
