WHIP is a new statistic for pitchers and it means Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched. You add up the number of hits allowed and add to the number of walks allowed and divide by innings pitched. If a pitcher has walked 50 batters and given up 150 hits and pitched 180 innings, the WHIP would be calculated as (50 + 150) / 180 which equals 1.11.

MaxineWHIP = Walks plus Hits per Innings Pitched
WHIP is a relatively new statistic that adds up the number of walks and base hits a pitcher allows and then divides the number of innings pitched into that number. The lower the WHIP the better the pitcher has pitched. A WHIP of 1.00 or less is considered excellent.
One of the best WHIPs was by Pedro Martinez of the Boston Red Sox in the 2000 season. He pitched 217 innings, gave up 128 hits and 32 walks for a WHIP of 0.737 (128+32 = 160 and 160/217 = 0.737).
