What is difficult about tuning catcher framing in OOTP is converting the increase in K ( and decrease in BB) into runs saved.
The ratings are relative to other catchers in terms of K rate.
I would think that an additional 4 K would be worth more than about 1 run saved just on hits in balls in play and by taking away HR opportunities. Those additional 4 K are also reducing BB too. I would need to do a conversion for each season to provide the estimated increase in K to covert to 1 run saved. It is probably something like every additional 3.5 K are worth a run saved.
However, how is OOTP doing the conversion and tracking framing runs saved?
When I would look at the league history it was like 95% of the catchers who ever played in my league had positive framing runs saved for their career which is of course impossible.
I have not looked into OOTP 26 yet to see if that reporting has been corrected but without the league average framing coming out to 0 it is very difficult to actually what is going on in the game.
