If a pitcher, in the first game of the season, throws 2 innings and gives up 2 earned runs in a 20-3 win that was run ruled after the 3rd inning (another pitcher threw the 3rd inning), how can her ERA be 7.00?
The formula is:
Divide the total number of earned runs by the total innings pitched, then multiply by seven.
I generally agree, but depends on skill level and sample size. Top skill level whip is a good stat because the # of extra batters faced from errors is low. Lower levels that can be high.What is her WHIP for that game? If I can only look at ERA and WHIP, I think WHIP tells a better story.
the sum of a pitcher's walks and hits, divided by his total innings pitched.
I just recently learned about FIP. That could also have application for the error prone team.I generally agree, but depends on skill level and sample size. Top skill level whip is a good stat because the # of extra batters faced from errors is low. Lower levels that can be high.
On a large enough sample size (like a year) I prefer ERA. The “luck” factor in era should be reduced. Some pitchers just better with runners on and have higher gb rates.
I still value the win loss as well.

yeah, things like WHIP and K% tell you about the art, the brushstrokes, the variety of colors. Wins and losses say "This is almost definitely a piece of art in a museum"Yeah, it's all one big picture and the more stats the more complete the picture.
