Uncover the Untold Stories Behind Baseball’s Most Jaw-Dropping Records and Legendary Feats
Lowest ERA in a Career
The three lowest career ERAs of all time came from pitchers who dominated early 20th-century baseball, led by Ed Walsh with his career 1.82 ERA. Since 1969, Los Angeles Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw has the lowest career ERA at 2.52 (through Aug. 13).

Lowest ERA in a Single Season
Like the pitchers with the lowest career ERAs, most of the best single-season ERAs also came from the dead-ball era. Satchel Paige and Bob Gibson are the only members of the top 10 to pitch after 1914. Since 1969, Dwight Gooden recorded the best single-season mark at 1.53 with the New York Mets in 1985.
