How to read the ERA leaders
The ranking is MLB's official ERA leaderboard for the regular season, with qualifiers as MLB sets them. What is ERA? Beside it is each player's season NUT — runs saved versus league ERA from FIP, divided by runs per win — where 0.0 is league average. Grades use the season scale: S is elite, C is around league average. Rankings by position are on Best by Position, and the full board, sortable by any stat, is on Stats.
