A baseball statistic that indicates the error was made by the catcher.
The term consists of E and the player's position. Baseball positions are sometimes referred to through numbers and they are as follows: 1-Pitcher, 2-Catcher, 3-First base, 4-Second base, 5-Third base, 6-Shortstop, 7-Left field, 8-Center field, and 9-Right field. An error by a fielder does not count as a hit and if a baserunner scores a run because of an error, the run is considered unearned instead of earned.
