Zone Rating is tracked by the game.
Zone Rating, in real life, uses batted ball locations
I don't think, but I'm not sure, that the game tracks batted balls.
So, if they can fake Zone Rating, by, likely, giving better defensive players a higher probability of a high Zone Rating, then they can fake a pitch framing metric in the same way.
The question, then, obviously, is how useful is it if it's faked.
