Walks Hit per Inning Pitched
2007-03-27 03:07:44 · answer #1 · answered by Orientalgenius 2 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Walks plus Hits per inning pitched. For Example lets say a pitcher pitches 100 inning gives up 25 walks and 89 hits.
(25+89)/100=1.14 The pitchers whip would be 1.14.

Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched.
If a pitcher pitches 9 innings and gives up one walk and two hits, his WHIP would be .333
(1+2)/9

Lots of wrong answers here.
Most are right saying it is (Walks+Hits) / Innings Pitched.
However, one guy said 1.3 is normally among the highest in the league. Actually, that is above average. The best pitchers have a WHIP around 1.00 (in other words 1 runner per inning reaches base via a walk or hit). Most pitchers are closer to a 1.5 whip.
Another guy included runs scored in his calculation. This is wrong too. It is purely how often you allow someone to reach base (not including errors as those are not the pitchers fault).
Again, a 1.00 WHIP is outstanding. 1.50 is most common (1.5 runners reach per inning or 3 runners every 2 innings). 2.00 is high.

it takes into account both the walks and hits a pitcher gives up in the amount of innings he pitches. it means Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched. for instance, 1.3 is among the best in the league, but certainly not the highest. the best pitchers have around 1.2 - 1.4, while some have above 2 - 3. also, if a pitcher gives up 1 run, 5 hits and 0 walks in 9 innings pitched (lets say it was a complete game) he would have a 1.00 ERA and a 0.56 WHIP. the WHIP is calculated by adding runs and hits and dividing it by the amount of innings pitched. for this instance 5/9 = 0.56...WHIP does not take into account runs given up (ERA is for that - Earned Run Average)...but it only takes into account the walks and hits a pitcher gives up per amount of innings pitched.

1.3 is normally among the highest in the league.

It's a slang term for when they throw the ball really fast.
