One of the major reasons the new front office wanted to acquire catcher Yasmani Grandal is because of his pitch framing ability. Grandal, according to Baseball Prospectus (Official), ranked 13th out of 100 catchers in pitch framing. A.J. Ellis ranked 99th out of 100 catchers. Pitch framing is important because it can play a vital role in keeping pitchers pitch counts down thus keeping them in the games longer. baseballprospectus/sortable/index.php?cid=1667331
