WHIP Calculator
Calculate walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP) for baseball pitchers with performance benchmarks.
WHIP (Walks Plus Hits Per Inning Pitched)
WHIP measures how many baserunners a pitcher allows per inning. It is one of the most widely used pitching statistics for evaluating control and hit prevention. Lower WHIP values indicate better performance.
WHIP Formula
WHIP = (Hits + Walks) / Innings Pitched. Hits by pitch and other baserunners are not included in the standard WHIP calculation. A WHIP below 1.00 is elite; league average is typically around 1.25–1.35.
Interpreting WHIP
WHIP correlates strongly with run prevention because fewer baserunners generally means fewer scoring opportunities for the opposition. It complements ERA and FIP when evaluating pitcher effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good WHIP?
Below 1.00 is elite, 1.00–1.10 is very good, 1.10–1.25 is above average, and 1.25–1.35 is roughly league average.
Is WHIP better than ERA?
WHIP focuses on baserunners allowed and is less affected by defense and luck than ERA. Both stats are useful together for a complete pitching picture.
Are hit batters included in WHIP?
No. Standard WHIP only counts hits and walks. Some advanced metrics include hit-by-pitch as a baserunner component.
