I was looking at the record thread and their are a categories for SP ERA and RP ERA over 40 innings. No records for ERA leaders. Don't quite understand why RP with 41 IP is comparable with a RP having 162+ IP
RP's almost always have the lowest ERA. however, to be the League Leader in MLB, the rule states one inning for every game in a season. so 162 IP's to qualify for the LL in ERA.
