About the WHIP Calculator
The WHIP calculator measures how many base runners a pitcher allows per inning: (walks + hits) ÷ innings pitched. A WHIP near 1.00 is excellent, 1.30 is roughly league average and above 1.50 is poor. It is a quick indicator of how much traffic a pitcher allows.
How to use it
- 1Enter walks allowed.
- 2Enter hits allowed.
- 3Enter innings pitched and press Calculate.
Worked example
40 walks and 150 hits in 180 innings give 190 ÷ 180 ≈ 1.06.
