Framing Returned
His catchers’ framing runs on his pitches, subtracted from his total so they count once.
Shown for: pitcher.
Formula
The total over the catchers he threw to of each catcher’s framing runs × his share of that catcher’s taken pitches.
Our own model
Not checked against Savant. A season is written only when every check on the aWAR page passes.
Notes
Taken pitches are balls and called strikes, not automatic or intentional ones.
Era caveats
aWAR begins in 2016
Savant’s fielding leaderboard begins in 2016, so 2015 has no aWAR and no part of it.
Framing is 0 in 2016 and 2017
Savant’s framing leaderboard reads 0 for every catcher in 2016 and 2017, so framing adds nothing to a catcher or takes nothing from a pitcher in those seasons.
Framing shrank in 2026
In 2026, the first season of the automated strike zone, framing per pitch taken fell to 0.81 of its 2023 to 2025 level. Savant still frames a challenged pitch on the umpire’s original call.
