DIPS D&D Version

Let’s use Jason Schmidt’s 20004 season again. Here are his totals:
IP H HR BB K
225 165 18 77 251


(IP*2.35) + (H*0.805) + (HR*10.76) + (BB*2.76) – (K*1.53)
_________________________________________________
(IP*0.712) + (H*.244) + (K*0.096) – (HR*0.244)


Yeah, and this is the simple version!

NUMERATOR
(225*2.35) + (165*.805) + (18*10.76) + (77*2.76) – (251*1.53)
528.75 + 132.825 + 193.68 + 212.52 – 384.03
1067.775 - 384.03
683.745

DENOMINATOR
(225*.712) + (165*.244) + (251*.096) – (18*.244)
160.2 + 40.26 + 24.096 – 4.392
224.556 - 4.392
220.164

6837.745 / 220.164
3.106
Therefore, Jason Schmidt’s DIPS, Down and Dirty style, was 3.11 in 2004 (just off his “longer” DIPS total of 3.03 listed in the story).
