Curious to get thoughts on what would be considered a good WHIP for HS level ball...
BOF is correct that its difficult to give a general answer because of the wide range of skills and competition involved. Its also pretty difficult to give a good answer because of the wide variations in scorers. You could go to MaxPreps and take a look at WHIPs and get some idea. They have over 3,000 school posting there, so the range is pretty wide.
OTOH, I have a little bit of personal data I’ll share. The link shows the last 5 years of data for our HS. It’s in the largest school category in Ca, and has been in the playoffs each of the last 5 seasons. We play mostly DI(large schools), but usually play a few games each season against DII or DIII schools, but they’re usually the better schools in those divisions.

The 1st report is our pitchers. The 2nd report is how the schools have done and of course includes all pitchers for all schools.
