pitch/out?

[TooLiveBrew]

Is this measured already by someone? Would calculating it mean anything in regards to pitching value?

ESPN.com (Stats, Inc.) includes p/IP in their player stats. Since an inning is 3 outs, it's essentially the same stat.

I don't know that the stat itself has SABRmetric value; about the only thing I really use it for is figuring out how many innings a starting pitcher averages (#p/GS divided by p/IP).
