OIP: Overall Injury Probability

Overall Injury Probability is a scouting evaluation tool in the use of grading pitching mechanics in an objectively, subjective manner. The main movements involved in a pitcher's delivery (leg extension, hip rotation, and follow through) are numerically rated to establish a baseline. Other problems in the delivery (i.e., short arming, poor balance, throwing against the body, etc.) are then factored in if present.
An injury probability percentage is easier to read and understand when presented quantitatively for evaluating amateur, free agents, and potential trades.
