It seems to me that injury distribution problem is the result of the fact that virtually all injuries in OOTP are the result of a play in-game (there are some off-the-field injuries, but they are much rarer). Pitchers and catchers are involved in far fewer plays in the field (likewise pitchers at the plate, if the DH is in effect), and so they are much less likely to be injured. Where injury chances are concerned, OOTP doesn't seem to "count" the catcher's presence during at-bats, either.
