Catcher framing
is the art of a catcher receiving a pitch in a way that makes it more likely for an umpire to call it a strike. This page breaks down the catcher’s view into eight zones around the strike zone and shows the called strike percentage of all non-swings in that zone.
Strike Rate
shows the cumulative total of all zones.
Runs From Extra Strikes
converts strikes to runs saved
on a .125 run/strike basis
, and includes
park and pitcher adjustments
. To qualify, a catcher must receive 6 called pitches per team game.
How to say it:
“In 2018, Jeff Mathis converted 55 percent of non-swing pitches into called strikes in the
Shadow Zone
, the best rate of any catcher in baseball.”
Qualifier:
6 called pitches (i.e., takes, or non-swings) in the ‘shadow zone’ per team game. (The shadow zone is essentially the edges of the strike zone, roughly one ball width inside and one ball wide outside of the zone.
See what that looks like here
.)
