How it works
Add the walks and the hits allowed, then divide by the innings pitched.
Baseball writes part innings with a point, where .1 is one out and .2 is two outs, so 180.1 means 180 and one third. The calculator turns that notation into a decimal before it divides.
Worked example
A pitcher who allowed 48 walks and 150 hits over 180.1 innings has a WHIP of 1.1.
Questions
What is a good WHIP?
Ranges vary by league and era. A lower figure means fewer runners on base, and the number is most useful when compared with other pitchers in the same season.
Why are innings written like 180.2?
Each out is a third of an inning, so .1 and .2 mean one and two outs. A full inning is written as a whole number.
Does WHIP count runs?
No. It counts walks and hits only, so it does not show runs allowed or the defense behind the pitcher.
