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

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

4. Greg Maddux, Atlanta Braves (1.63 ERA in 1995)

Maddux picked up where he left off a year earlier (second on this list) in a 144-game season that was also impacted by the players’ strike. There haven’t been many pitchers who have been better over a two-year span in baseball history. In fact, there have only been four since 1913 who have posted lower ERAs than Maddux’s 1.60 across 1994-95.

  • 5. Zack Greinke, Los Angeles Dodgers (1.66 ERA in 2015)
  • 6. Nolan Ryan, Houston Astros (1.69 ERA in 1981)
  • 7. Jacob deGrom, New York Mets (1.70 ERA in 2018)
  • 8. Trevor Bauer, Cincinnati Reds (1.73 ERA in 2020)
  • 9. Pedro Martinez, Boston Red Sox (1.74 ERA in 2000)
  • 10. Ron Guidry, New York Yankees (1.74 ERA in 1978)

In the shortened 2020 season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bieber earned the pitching version of the Triple Crown by leading the majors with eight wins (tied with Yu Darvish of the Cubs), 122 strikeouts and a 1.63 ERA. It was the first pitching Triple Crown since Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Justin Verlander of the Tigers both accomplished it in their respective leagues in 2011.
