Answer key: WHIP worksheet

  1. 1. WHIP (walks + hits per inning): 1.13

    1. Convert the notation: the digit after the point counts outs, and each out is one third of an inning

      200 IP=200 innings=200×3+03=200
    2. WHIP counts the batters a pitcher put on base with walks and hits, per inning pitched

      WHIP=BB+HIP
    3. Add the walks and hits, then divide by the innings to get baserunners per inning

      45+180200=225200=1.125
    4. Per-game rates scale a count to a 7-inning game: 7 times the count, divided by innings

      H/7=7×180200=6.3
    5. Scale walks the same way, to see how often this pitcher gives free passes

      BB/7=7×45200=1.575
    6. Scale strikeouts the same way, to see how often this pitcher gets batters out on their own

      K/7=7×160200=5.6
    7. Divide strikeouts by walks; a higher ratio means better control

      K/BB=16045=3.555556
