GWTW62,

You’re comparing apples and oranges when you compare OBP and WHIP. If you want to compare a pitcher’s OBP, you’d compute it the same way you compute a batter’s OBP, except you take the total of all hits+ the total of all walks+ the total of all HBPs and divide it by the total of all ABs + the total of all walks+ the total of all HBPs + the total of all sac flies and you’d have the OBP against a pitcher.

Likewise, if you wanted a batter’s WHIP, you’d add all of his hits + all of his walks, and divide them by the number of outs he’s made divided by 3. However since batter’s done typically have their stats done by innings computed as 3 outs, doing the computation using outs rather than outs divided by 3would make more sense. That way you’d get a WHPO, or Walks+Hits/Outs.
