WHIP stands for Walks + Hits per Innings Pitched. It's a stat for pitchers.

Walks and or hits per inning. So if you pitch 9 innings and you allow nine men on base (excluding errors) then your WHIP would be 1.

WHIP=Walks, hits per inning pitched.
A pitcher pitches 2 innings and give up one hit and no walks. His WHIP would be .50. Hope that helps

Walks plus Hits per Innings Pitched
It's a good metric for assessing baserunners allowed (it's not perfect, but hits and walks are the two predominant methods for getting on base, so it does work quite well). Think of it as a first cousin to ERA.
Lower WHIP is better. The best way to prevent runs, is to prevent baserunners.
