About WHIP

Walks and hits per innings pitched (WHIP) is a metric that shows how often, on average, hitters get on base per inning against a pitcher. It is calculated by summing hits and walks for a given time period then dividing by the number of innings during that time period. Generally, for WHIP, lower is better. (Source)
