It isn't something that would result from actual outcomes, it would just be inferred from the raw rating. Might be the best compromise available though.

I think we're talking about two different things. It sounds like you're talking about a pitch framing rating, which I don't have an argument against, other than I personally don't feel it's needed because it's already part of the catcher rating. But I can see why someone would want it and how it would affect a team's pitching staff.
I'm specifically talking about a pitch framing stat, which is what Argonaut asked for in the post I replied to. There's no way to quantify pitch framing in the game in a statistical sense when there are no pitch locations in the game. That's the point I'm trying to make.
