Interesting...I'm not sure if I believe framing accounts for this many runs though. Steve

Its related to PB, but it takes the pitcher out of the equation, so you can get a little better apples to apples comparison of catchers. 8 PB out of 200 bad pitches is better than 6 PB out of 100 bad pitches after all.
