Until the 1990s, he had to score one point to rank No. 1 in ERA. The 'national treasure' Sun Dong-yeol recorded a score of 0 three times, in 1986 (0.99), 1987 (0.89), and 1993 (0.78). With the establishment of the foreign player system, the hit increased, and in the 2000s, the number one ERA rose to around two points.
The only one-point first place was 1.82, which was recorded by Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha) in 2010.
It seems that he can expect his second one-point ERA this season. He is continuing his good pitching by recording six players or one point.
First place is James Nail of the KIA Tigers. Nail, who ranked first in ERA with 2.53 last season, is showing better pitching this season. The completeness of the change-up increased with the powerful sweeper, making it a monster. Although he has won only two games, he has a 1.09 ERA with only six runs in 49 ⅔ innings. After scoring zero points, he allowed two runs in six innings against LG on April 27 and rose to the one-point level.
Second place is Yoni Chirinos of the LG Twins. He is 5-1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight games. He has recorded seven quality starts, showing a strong performance as LG's first starter.
Cody Ponce, who is leading the rise of the Hanwha Eagles, is third with a 1.70 ERA. He has six wins and no losses in eight games. He pitched 53 innings, the most, allowing only 11 runs (10 earned runs).

Lotte Giants' Tucker Davidson is also continuing his good pitching. He chose the adventure of recruiting Davison rather than re-signing Wilkerson, who won 12 games, but succeeded. He has four wins, no losses and a 1.80 ERA in seven games. He allowed only eight runs in 40 innings. He allowed six runs in the first three games, but only two runs in the next four games, showing perfect adaptation to the KBO league.
Emmanuel de Heysus, who moved to KT after winning 13 games with the Kiwoom Heroes last year, is still in the one-point range. He continued his steady pace of 1-1 with 1.01 ERA in the first five games, but his ERA increased by allowing three runs (two earned runs) in six innings against Doosan on April 30 and three runs in four ⅓ against NC on April 6. He has 2 wins and 2 losses with a 1.95 ERA.
He almost had a one-point ERA recently. NC's Eric Peddy, who caused the sweeper craze in 2023, won three gold medals in pitchers, including multiple wins, ERA, and strikeouts, and was named regular league MVP. At that time, he had 20 wins and 209 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.00. It was 1.996 with 46 runs and 40 earned runs in 180 ⅓ innings, but it was 2.00 in the official record by rounding up. This record is also the lowest ERA for a foreign pitcher.
Will he have a one-point average this season for the second time in 15 years and since the 2000s. There is still a long way to go.
