Unveiling Baseball’s Untouchable Pitcher: The Secret Behind the Lowest ERA Ever Recorded

2. Dutch Leonard, Boston Red Sox (1.00 ERA in 1914)

With rookie teammate Babe Ruth looking on, Leonard went 19-5 to help the Red Sox finish 91-62 in 1914. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good enough to catch the Philadelphia Athletics in the American League standings. The left-hander was second in the majors with 7.05 strikeouts per nine innings and fourth with a 2.93 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

3. Satchel Paige, Kansas City Monarchs (1.01 ERA in 1944)

Paige didn’t give up a single home run in any of his 16 starts for the Monarchs in the Negro American League in 1944. Despite his dominance, the Monarchs finished the season below .500 offering an average of just 2.5 runs per game to support Paige and the rest of the pitching staff. The Hall of Famer sustained his success throughout his 22-year career, being named an All-Star in both the Negro National and Negro American Leagues, as well as in the American League with St. Louis and Cleveland. Paige also also won a World Series title with Cleveland in 1948.
