For Pitch Framing: Strike Zone Runs Saved-
Actual Strikes- Expected Strikes= Extra
Extended into Runs saved for the year
Defensive Runs Saved
-Adjusted Earned Runs Saved-staff handling
I feel the game currently undervalues the defensive contribution of good catchers especially in staff handling and pitch framing. I hope future versions will incorporate this important part of baseball.
These stats are available in the annual Bill James Handbook and online.
