The formula to calculate the Home Runs Per 9 Innings (HR/9) is:
\[ HR/9 = \left( \frac{HR}{IP} \right) \times 9 \]
Where:
Home Runs Per 9 (HR/9) is a baseball statistic that measures the average number of home runs a pitcher allows per nine innings pitched. This metric is useful for evaluating a pitcher’s susceptibility to giving up home runs and is often used in conjunction with other pitching statistics to assess overall performance. A lower HR/9 indicates better performance in preventing home runs.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the Home Runs Per 9 Innings:
\[ HR/9 = \left( \frac{5}{45} \right) \times 9 = 1 \]
This means that the home runs per 9 innings for this example is 1.
