Question

Pitch Framing.. Been around forever, and now they have stats for it. My question...are umpires actually duped into calling a ball a strike? From the plate umpire's position, can he see the catcher's glove, and if so, see it move out/in and up/down?

Framing and pulling are different. Framing is positioning the glove to highlight the "strike-ishness" of the pitch. Catch the breaking pitch closer to the plate, set up on the outside corner inst

Nobody comes here for that. Apparently.

As far as I'm aware, I've never been duped. I miss pitches all on my own, without a catcher's help. [Self-deprecating emoticon goes here.]
