walks plus hits divided by innings pitched
It refers to hits allowed per nine innings pitched.
This probably means that if he gave up, say, 5 hits over 6 innings, maybe 1 in each of the first 5 innings. In other words, he didn't give up all 5 hits to 5 consecutive batters.
Most hits in a game with 9 innings is 7 by Wilbert Robinson(1892) and Rennie Stennett(1975). Most hits in a game with extra innings is 9 by Johnny Burnett(1932) and he did it in 18 innings.
A lower one because whip is walks + hits / innings pitched. so the less the walks and hits the lower the whip.
