WHIP Calculator

Formula

To calculate the WHIP (\(WHIP\)):

\[ WHIP = \frac{W + H}{IP} \]

Where:

\(W\) is walks
\(H\) is hits
\(IP\) is innings pitched

What is WHIP?

WHIP is a term used in baseball that refers to the ratio of the sum of the walks and hits to the total innings pitched. It is a measure of a pitcher's effectiveness in preventing batters from reaching base.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Walks (\(W\)) = 10
Hits (\(H\)) = 20
Innings Pitched (\(IP\)) = 15

Using the formula:

\[ WHIP = \frac{10 + 20}{15} = 2.00 \]

The WHIP is 2.00.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Walks (\(W\)) = 5
Hits (\(H\)) = 10
Innings Pitched (\(IP\)) = 10

Using the formula:

\[ WHIP = \frac{5 + 10}{10} = 1.50 \]

The WHIP is 1.50.
