No disrespect to catchers and coaches, but I don't believe in this framing illusion. Good umpires see everything a catcher does. Good umpires read the pitch through the strike zone, not at the catch. Location of catcher's body, hands, mitt, etc does not matter. Good umpires are not gullible, stupid nor unaware. Framing is a fantasy of catchers, coaches and fans.
My son was a catcher thru high school, they work their asses off to master the craft, it is over looked by many but those that know really appreciate them!
I really dislike this aspect of baseball and how an umpire could ruin a game based on the deceitfulness of the catchers framing… a ball is a ball and a strike is a strike based on where the ball crosses the plate not how and where the catcher frames the ball over the plate… imho that would be considered cheating

All this art of the game will go away with a computer strike zone. Is it better? Who knows but this is a skill and part of baseball.

when my pitchers threw fastballs I would try to make it pop, I feel like it gave them confidence. Idk… pitchers?… is that a thing?

Dude watch the games….Flowers NEVER frames pitches. He leads the league in most passed balls and has the poorest fundamentals of anyone. What.Ever.
Oktober 6, 2020 @ 3:42 am
To bad he can’t catch a lot of the balls

Yo…this video is awesome. From a former catcher, I could watch T Flow do this all day.
Oktober 6, 2020 @ 3:42 am
Can someone teach him how to hit now?

Sal – Flo makes his money by turning this ball (off the plate) into a strike. That makes him very valuable.
Flo – "I'm not trying to turn ball into strikes."
Okay, then!

Gotta love an interviewer who loves listening to himself talk more than the people he's interviewing…
STFU!

Tyler flowers is garbage.
Oktober 6, 2020 @ 3:42 am
The title of the video should be "how to cheat"
Oktober 6, 2020 @ 3:42 am
if we get rid of human umpires, does that make framing obsolete?
