WHIP Calculator for Baseball
Use our WHIP calculator to calculate WHIP in baseball from hits, walks, and innings pitched. Includes the WHIP baseball formula, how to calculate WHIP, and what WHIP means in pitching stats.
What Is WHIP in Baseball Stats?
WHIP stands for Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched. It measures how many baserunners a pitcher allows per inning.
A lower WHIP generally means a pitcher allows fewer hits and walks, which usually correlates with better run prevention.
WHIP is a common pitching stat used in baseball analysis and fantasy baseball because it focuses on baserunners allowed rather than runs, which can be influenced by defense and luck.
WHIP Baseball Formula
WHIP is calculated by adding hits and walks, then dividing by innings pitched.
Innings pitched should be entered as innings (not outs). For example, 6.1 means 6 and 1/3 innings.
This pitcher allowed 1.5 baserunners per inning.

It depends on league level and era, but generally lower is better. Comparing pitchers within the same league and season is the fairest way to judge WHIP.
Standard WHIP includes only walks and hits. Reached-on-error and hit-by-pitch are usually not included in the basic WHIP formula.
Convert outs to innings by dividing by 3, then compute WHIP. Example: 18 outs = 6 innings.
