Unveiling Baseball’s Untouchable Pitcher: The Secret Behind the Lowest ERA Ever Recorded
- 4. John Ward (2.10 from 1878-84)
- 5. Christy Mathewson (2.13 from 1900-16)
Lowest ERA in a Career (Since 1969)
1. Clayton Kershaw (2.54 from 2008-25)*
The left-hander had his best season in 2014, going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA to earn his third NL Cy Young Award. Kershaw also became the first pitcher to win the NL MVP since Rollie Fingers of the Milwaukee Brewers in 1981 (more on him later).
2. Jacob deGrom (2.57 from 2014-25)*
There’s been no question about deGrom’s dominance throughout his career. The only thing that’s been able to slow him down has been injuries. The right-hander’s best season came in 2018 when he had a 1.94 ERA and won the first of two straight NL Cy Young Awards.
