Is there a stat that is equal to how many hits and walks plus hit batsmen minus intentional walks per inning. I know WHIP is close, but it doesn't differentiate a intentional walk from other walks and hit batsmen aren't included. It seems like this would be a better stat to evaluate a pitcher than WHIP, because intentional walks are oftentimes called by the manager and hit batsmen are a problem of the pitcher.
