Beat the Umpire: Live Game-Speed Framing Score Test
A live, game-speed framing test where a real umpire calls balls and strikes on borderline pitches with a batter standing in. You score every edge pitch by whether it was actually called a strike, so your framing is graded the only way that counts in a game.
⏱ ~25 min📋 3-4 rounds of live at-bats (5-6 pitches each), scoring every borderline pitch
