For Chicago White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon , though, it's not even that simple. His ERA can't properly be displayed in four or five digits.
His ERA so far? Infinity.
And now you might be wondering, how can an ERA be infinite?
Simply put, you allow runs and don't record a single out.
Cannon made one appearance for the White Sox earlier this season, walked three batters and let one earned run cross the plate before he was pulled.
So one earned run in 0.0 innings. You can't do that division. It's infinite.

The 6-foot-6 Cannon hasn't been a great pitcher so far in his big league career, but he's also been better than an infinity ERA.
It's just a tough break to begin the year, and now the White Sox are utilizing other pitchers.
It's hard to know where Cannon goes from here, but he'd sure like another outing this year, the chance to at least get one out and put a real number on that ERA rather than infinity.
For now, though, Cannon is in infamous, infinite territory.
