However, (one thing I wish was fixed in OOTP 12,) the game decides I need to choose a pitcher, even though I am now at bat. Usually, if a pitcher is injured upon the last out of an inning, that team is able to send two pitchers to the bullpen, and bring one of them into the game. Not OOTP.

So, I choose my closer to place into the pitching spot, because I am forced to choose SOMEONE.

Well, in the bottom of the 9th, I end up winning the game, by scoring a man from second on a base hit. The closer got the win, and never even appeared on the mound. lol.

Never saw this happen yet, out of the hundreds (probably over a thousand) games I have played in one pitch mode. New one on me.

I would think that your closer would have been recorded as having thrown one pitch. So, even though you think the substitution was made after you came up to bat, it's possible that the game is treating it differently. I let the AI manage my team, and in that case, the replacement pitcher is always given that one pitch before the inning is officially over. If the closer is really shown as having thrown zero pitches in the box score, that would be a new one to me.
