    Measurements vs Frequencies
    Two forms of data are: measurements and frequencies.

    In terms of the MLB, I am fairly certain that a counting stat (HR, RBI, SB) is a form of measurement. But what about ratios? Are they measurements too, or are they frequencies?

    I know frequency deals with the number of times a data value occurs, but does that mean WHIP is a frequency? A guy will give up X walks + hits per Y inning pitched?

    This has me a little confused and any help would be appreciated.

    By your definition of a "frequency" above.....HRs , RBIs K's, Walks....etc are all "frequencies"

    Things like batting average, WHIP & ERA are considered measurements because they involves the use of formulas.
