What is WHIP in Baseball?
WHIP (Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched) measures how many baserunners a pitcher allows per inning. It’s a key stat for evaluating a pitcher’s effectiveness—the lower the WHIP, the better.WHIP Calculator for Baseball
How to Calculate WHIP
Use this simple formula:WHIP=Walks+HitsInnings PitchedWHIP=Innings PitchedWalks+Hits
Example:
- Hits Allowed: 200
- Walks Allowed: 50
- Innings Pitched: 230
WHIP=200+50230=1.087WHIP=230200+50=1.087
Why WHIP Matters
- For Pitchers: Tracks control and ability to prevent baserunners.
- For Fans/Scouts: Helps compare pitcher performance.
Good WHIP Values
- Elite: Below 1.00 (e.g., Mariano Rivera: 1.000)
- Above Average: ~1.10–1.25
- Poor: Over 1.30
Related Stats
