Catcher ERA is a bit unreliable because there's so many variables at play. Plus it's only earned runs, so errors won't count. Is a passed ball an error? Anyway.
Pitch framing (and I guess gamecalling) is in the game via Catcher Ability. This rating noticeably affects K and BB rates for pitchers.
Would be nice if there was a corresponding stat for this so that the WAR boost could show up for the catchers instead of pitchers.
