RA/9 (Runs Allowed per 9 Innings)

Minimum 500 innings pitched

Ranked by runs allowed per nine innings. Retrosheet's Negro Leagues box scores record earned runs in only a minority of documented games while innings are complete, so an ERA computed from them measures scorekeeping, not pitching — runs allowed is the complete column.
