Expected Fielding Independent Pitching

Expected fielding independent pitching is a measurement of a pitcher's performance that controls for the quality of his team's defense.

The expected fielding independent pitching increases with the number of walks and flyballs, and decreases with the number of strikeouts. It also declines with the relative number of innings played and outs recorded.

Formula

QuantityVariable["xFIP", "Unitless"] == 3.1 + (3*QuantityVariable["BB", "Unitless"] + 1.3519999999999999*QuantityVariable["FB", "Unitless"] - 2*QuantityVariable["K", "Unitless"])/(QuantityVariable["IP", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["OUTS", "Unitless"]/3)
