Those aren’t hits. How many strike outs a game is she averaging? My idea of a perfect inning is 3 pitches all resulting in weak ground balls. Your dd can pitch a whole lot more innings that way, then if she needs 20 pitches an inning to get more strikeouts.Glad I asked! Our daughter is 1st year 12u and has a great strike %, but more kids are able to hit off her than our #1 (who has a lower strike %, but pitches 5mph faster). But probably 75% of those hits are weak/infield and results in an out at 1st base or caught ball. My husband thinks that those hits are a bad thing, but I keep telling my daughter that as long as they aren't slugging them to outfield its still good.
It’s not a hit or a walk, it doesn’t affect whip. WHIP is literally Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched. Nothing else is calculates into that number.What about a dropped 3rd that results in an on base?!?
dropped 3rd is still counted as a strike out for the pitchers stats.
