A pitcher in baseball will want to shoot for the lowest WHIP possible. A low WHIP means that on a per-inning basis the pitcher throws a low number of hits and walks a low number of batters.

WHIP is a term used in baseball that refers to the ratio of walks, hits, and innings pitched. It’s a statistic used for pitchers that are often considered one of the most important stats for a pitcher. This is because it considers a walk just as bad as a hit, which in reality, it could be worse. Typically when walking a batter at least 4 pitches must be thrown, but it’s likely more. So not only does the runner get on base, but your pitch count has gone up considerably. This is compared to the 2.5 pitches on average per batter that gets a hit.
