Two questions: 1. How is slugging percentage calculated? 2. What does WHIP stand for?

Not sure of either and I can’t find either in terminology sites.

THE COACH’S ANSWER

Hey Richard! Thanks for the baseball question. I have already answered these questions for you on separate pages. Below are the links:

Check those pages out for a complete description and how to calculate each of them. Both of these statistics are very useful and will make understanding baseball easier when you hear announcers talking about them on television or the radio.

Have a good day!
