Baseball Walks Plus Hits per Inning

The walks plus hits per inning pitched is a sabermetric measurement of the number of baserunners a pitcher has allowed per inning pitched. It reflects a pitcher's propensity for allowing batters to reach base; therefore, a lower value indicates a better performance.

The walks plus hits per inning pitched equals the sum of the walks and hits divided by the sum of the innings pitched and one-third of the outs.

Formula

QuantityVariable["WHIP", "Unitless"] == (QuantityVariable["BB", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["H", "Unitless"])/(QuantityVariable["IP", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["OUTS", "Unitless"]/3)

symbol description physical quantity
WHIP walks plus hits per inning pitched "Unitless"
BB walks "Unitless"
H hits "Unitless"
