The IP (innings pitched) statistic in Baseball measures how many innings a pitcher has played in a game. It is used to evaluate a pitcher's endurance and effectiveness in staying on the mound. The higher the IP, the more work a pitcher has done in a game, which can indicate their reliability and ability to pitch for longer periods.

WHIP is a new statistic for pitchers and it means Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched. You add up the number of hits allowed and add to the number of walks allowed and divide by innings pitched. If a pitcher has walked 50 batters and given up 150 hits and pitched 180 innings, the WHIP would be calculated as (50 + 150) / 180 which equals 1.11.
