No, K/9 is more important. WHIP is still heavily influenced by defense.

I'm working on a calculation to prove/disprove this, what's an appropriate fielding percentage?

[Jack of Arcades]

Fielding percentage is flawed and would not work for your analysis.

Look into DIPS research done by Voros McCracken mostly. Most of the difference on batting average on ball in played allowed by pitchers is due to defense, randomness.

It's been proven that the DIPS ERA, which is comprised mostly of K, BB, and HR rates, is a better predictor of next year's ERA than ERA is. If you can follow what I'm saying.

Yeah, I got it. TY for the info, looking it up as we speak.

[Hoya]

A follow-up study showed that pitchers have a lot more control over balls in play than Voros originally thought. I forget who did it, however.
