Walks + Hits Per Inning Pitched.It's exactly what it sounds like. It says how many walks and hits does a pitcher give up per 1 inning pitched. So if in 3 innings he gives up 6 hits and 3 walks, his WHIP is 3.00, because he averages 3 walks+hits for every one inning he pitches. I think a good number is something like 1.20 and below. It's one of the few sabr stats I like, b/c it tells you how many earned baserunners the pitcher lets on. The more people he lets on, the more chance they have of scoring.
Generally if you see a pitcher w/ a bloated WHIP, you can expect any other GOOD stats to fall away. If he's got a bad WHIP, that usually means any other good stats are just lucky. Such as Wang getting 19 wins last year. He's not a 19 win pitcher. He just plays on an offensive power house.
