ERA: A look at a pitcher’s performance on the mound.
Earned run average represents the number of earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings — with earned runs being any runs that scored without the aid of an error or a passed ball.

| 2.00 and 3.00 | Considered excellent and is only achieved by the best pitchers in the league. |
| 3.00 and 4.00 | Above average. |

BB– A walk (or base on balls) | SO– Strike outs | HR: Home runs allowed | H: A hold is an unofficial statistic that measures the effectiveness of middle relievers. A hold is granted to a relief pitcher who enters a game with his team in the lead in a save situation, and hands over that lead to another reliever without the score having been tied in the interim.
