Unveiling Baseball’s Untouchable Pitcher: The Secret Behind the Lowest ERA Ever Recorded
- 6. Christy Mathewson, New York Giants (1.14 ERA in 1909)
- 7. Walter Johnson, Washington Senators (1.14 ERA in 1913)
- 8. Jack Pfiester, Chicago Cubs (1.15 ERA in 1907)
- 9. Addie Joss, Cleveland Naps (1.16 ERA in 1908)
- 10. Carl Lundgren, Chicago Cubs (1.17 ERA in 1907)
Lowest ERA in a Single Season (Since 1969)
1. Dwight Gooden, New York Mets (1.53 ERA in 1985)
The Mets became a team to be reckoned with once “Doc” Gooden arrived in 1984. And a year after posting the seventh-best ERA by a rookie since 1969, Gooden was even more dominant in ’85 when he led the majors in wins (24) and strikeouts (268). The 1.53 ERA wasn’t too shabby either.
