Framing is known as the art of stealing strikes. With guile, fluid movements and even a little bit of acting and psychology, the best catchers in the game can swing the balance of a count and greatly influence the outcome of an at-bat.
Gary Sanchez is among the best offensive performers at his position in the major leagues. Maybe even the best. Since making his debut with the New York Yankees five years ago, he has a .246/.328/.518 line with a 123 wRC+, 105 home runs and 262 RBI in 372 games.
His framing, however, has been all over the place during his still-short career.
