I got 10 seasons that shows Kelly KIng throws more batters and has a lower CERA than SE Bench.

Well, yes, I’m not even sure what you’re getting at here. Catcher rating would decrease BB/9 and HR/9 and increase K/9 and what CERA is showing is the results of those changes. There’s no *direct* ability for anyone in the game to influence their own ERA except by those methods and some of the individual idiosyncrasies of each pitch (2 seam fastballs, sinkers, and splitters increase gb% and I believe lower HR rate, 4 seamers increase flyballs, curves and sliders increase splits, circle changes and screwballs lower and sometimes reverse them, and so on).
