Earned Run Average
I feel this is a pitcher's most important stat. Why? Because this is the truest way to evaluate a pitchers performance. It shows exactly how many runs he was personally responsible for surrendering.
A player who scores because he reached base due to an error does not count towards a Pitchers ERA. But if he scores as a result of reaching base and there were no errors involved, then that would count as an earned run. Any starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.00 or below is really a good pitcher. I hope this helps! :)

ERA stands for Earned Run Average. An earned run is any run scored that wasn't influenced by a defensive error. Te formula for calculating ERA is as follows: (Earned Runs x 9)/ Innings pitched. Hope this helps!

In baseball statistics, earned run average (ERA) is the mean of earned runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings pitched. It is determined by multiplying the number of earned runs allowed by nine and dividing by the number of innings pitched. Runners reaching base on errors (even errors by pitchers) do not count toward ERA if they later score.

Stands for Earned Run Average and is meant for a pitcher. For instance, if a pitcher threw a complete 9 inning game and gave up 1 run then his ERA for that game would be 1.00

Ahaha! Not to be mean or anything, but you're kidding, right? Okay, sorry, yes it means "Earned run average," as in the number of earned runs given up by a pitcher per game.
Have a nice day!
