What is a good Earned Run Average in college baseball?

In D1 baseball, an ERA under 3.00 is excellent and under 4.00 is solid for a starter; aces often post sub-2.50 marks.

How is Earned Run Average calculated?

ERA (Earned Run Average) is the average earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings — the headline pitching number.

When does the 2026 college baseball postseason start?
