Complicated by age level difference?
Is this ERA stat only used to compare 9-inning games? Other leagues playing within appropriate age levels only allow 5, 6 or 7 inning ballgames. For example, a young child with a 6.00 ERA over 9-innings would lower his ERA to a 4.00 ERA over 6-innings. Shouldn't we adjust the ERA formula to match the number of innings at each particular age level?
