Q: If a relief pitcher comes in for his season debut with no one on base and two outs in the bottom of the ninth with the score 5 to 5, and gives up a walk off homer on one pitch, what is his ERA? Keep in mind he's recorded no innings, let alone outs.
Thanks.

He doesn't have an ERA.
To get an ERA, you multiply the total runs earned against the pitcher by 9. Then you divide that number by the number of innings they've pitched.
If he didnt get an out, then he didn't get the 1/3 inning, because he didn't make at least one out, out of the three he could have gotten out.
So he doesn't have an ERA.
On the other hand, if there was 1 out when he came up, and he got a batter out so there were 2 outs, and THEN the batter got the run, his ERA would be 27.
