It’s nice to see others are thinking about pitch framing as cheating. I thought that opposing managers should point out to the home plate umpire when an opponent is a good pitch framer. Managers won’t do that, however, as they may have or have in the future a good pitch framer on their team. The league, however, should point this out. Before each game the league should send a report to the home plate umpire on the framing tendencies of the catchers starting the game, and instruct them to call the ball in relation to the plate, not where the catcher makes the grab. Note that this is just as important for poor pitch framers. It’s the ball that matters, not how it is caught.
