H/9: Hits allowed per nine innings pitched.

Understanding Hits per 9 Innings

Hits allowed per nine innings pitched.

Formula: 27 × H ÷ outs recorded

Read rates alongside playing time. A small sample can produce an extreme result, and a missing value is different from zero.

Season rankings use regular-season records. A player has one combined row across teams; the team label identifies the associated team, not a separate team stint.
