If you activate the widget that shows pitch location (and type and speed), you will soon see a few called strikes that were outside the zone. And, occasionally, the narrative will say the catcher "fooled the umpire" or "dragged that one into the strike zone" or similar. That seems to me to be a clear application of framing. It does not happen often - maybe once a game - but it can make a critical difference.
