Pitching statistics are numerical measures used to evaluate the performance of baseball pitchers. These stats include metrics like Earned Run Average (ERA), which indicates the average number of earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings, and Strikeouts (K), which counts the number of batters a pitcher strikes out. Other important statistics include Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched (WHIP), which measures how many base runners a pitcher allows per inning, and Wins (W), which reflects the number of games a pitcher has helped their team win. Together, these stats provide insight into a pitcher's effectiveness and overall contribution to the game.
