This has been a not good season for the Texas Rangers. They have a bad record, their hitting has been terrible, and their pitching hasn’t been all that great.
But Fangraphs notes today that there is one area where the Rangers have been head and shoulders above every other team in MLB.
That area? Pitch framing.
As Justin Choi over at Fangraphs notes, both Jose Trevino and Jonah Heim have been among the best catchers in baseball at framing this year. That combination means that the Rangers have been far and away the best framing team in MLB in 2021.
