In baseball, fielding independent pitching (FIP) (also referred to as defense independent pitching (DIP)) is intended to measure a pitcher's effectiveness based only on statistics that do not involve fielders (except the catcher).
FIP – Fielding independent pitching: a metric, scaled to resemble an ERA, that focuses on events within the pitcher's control – home runs, walks, and strikeouts – but also uses in its denominator the number of outs the team gets (see IP), which is not entirely within the pitcher's control.
The formula uses a player's standard deviations from the mean (a weighted z-score [9]) of the DIPS statistic xFIP (expected Fielding Independent Pitching), swinging strike percentage, overall strike percentage, and the differential between the pitcher's ERA and xFIP to determine a quantitative value for each pitcher.

Wilson had a 4.04 ERA this season, giving him a mark of 3.42 in 181 ⅓ innings with Milwaukee, but the right-hander's peripheral numbers (namely, a 4.68 Fielding Independent Pitching) indicated ...
The Royals value his ability to break down such advanced stats as expected batting average (xBA) and fielding independent pitching (FIP). Both are utilized to help measure a pitcher’s success.
Across 320 2/3 innings, Atlanta’s mustachioed ace has a 3.37 ERA and a 2.48 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching, a metric that estimates ERA by removing all balls hit into play). In 2023, Strider ...
Some examples of these statistics are defense-independent ERA, fielding independent pitching, and defense-independent component ERA. Other sabermetricians have furthered the work in DIPS, such as Tom Tango who runs the Tango on Baseball sabermetrics website. Baseball Prospectus created another statistics called the peripheral ERA.
Statistics such as weighted on-base average (wOBA), ultimate zone rating (UZR), ultimate base running (UBR), and defense independent pitching statistics (DIPS) measure the effectiveness of a player at creating and saving runs for their team, on a per-plate appearance or per-inning basis. These statistics can be multiplied by the playing time of ...
