Reply to "WHIP"

I find itinteresting that the hit by pitch is not also figured into the "whip" because its exactly the same thing as a walk or hit- runner charged to the pitcher. I am not a big fan of the "whip" stat in high school because it doesnt take into account the errors that prolong a pitchers efforts in an inning. For instance, one of our high school pitchers has a high "whip" because of all the errors made behind him. Over half of the hits this pitcher has given up have happened after errors when he should be out of the inning. Going back through the books and reconstructing innings, he should have the lowest WHIP on the team, not the highest.
