The seventh sabermetrics stat he mentions is FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching)
Formula: (HR x 13 + (BB + HBP – IBB) x 3 – K x 2) / IP, plus a league-specific factor (usually around 3.2).
Goal: Eliminate everything a pitcher can’t control (defense, park effects, bloop singles, etc.) and concentrate on the stuff he can control (strikeouts, walks, homeruns, etc.).
Flaw: Expected FIP (or xFIP) corrects HR/fly ball rate to the expected level. FIP does not.
