Has a Pitcher ever been Intentionally walked?
WHIP stands for Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched. For example, if you give up 4 hits and 2 walks over 6 innings, your WHIP is 1.00. If you give up 8 hits and 2 walks over 5 innings, then your WHIP is 2.00.Basically, divide the total number of walks and hits by the number of innings pitched.
Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched. The name says how you figure it. W+H/IP.
Has there ever been a major league team that not recorded a save in a year of baseball?
It stands for the nummber of walks and hits per inning pitched, so you do: #Walks allowed+#Hits allowed/ #Innings PitchedWouldn't you guys like to see baseball played in the rain?
(Walks + Hits) / Inings PitchedIt's one of many indicators of a pitcher's efficacy.
Clemens is back as a Yankee. How will this affect Yankees?
W=walks add H=hits allowed and divide by IP=innings pitched. This is the new micro management way of following a pitchers effectiveness.Is A-Rod going to break Hank Aaron's record...Tonight?
WHIP stands for Walks+Hits per Innings Pitched.You figure it out just how it sounds -- let's say a pitcher allows 7 hits and walks 3 in 6 innings. So..
Walks (3) + Hits (7) = 10....divided by innings pitched (6).
So the WHIP for this pitcher's outing would be 1.66. Anything 1.20 or less is considered pretty good.
