WHIP in baseball stands for: Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched. Essentially, it is a stat that compiles all walks and hits that a pitcher allows and divides it by the number of innings that the pitcher pitched. The lower the WHIP, the better.
The lower the number, the more effective the pitcher. Okrent originated WHIP when he invented fantasy baseball in 1979, and it is a measure still used today by many fantasy leagues to evaluate pitchers. Per Baseball Reference, the AL WHIP in 2015 was 1.290, while the NL WHIP was 1.299.
