Fielding Independent Pitching

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

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

Formula

QuantityVariable["FIP", "Unitless"] == 3.1 + (3*QuantityVariable["BB", "Unitless"] + 13*QuantityVariable["HR", "Unitless"] - 2*QuantityVariable["K", "Unitless"])/(QuantityVariable["IP", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["OUTS", "Unitless"]/3)
