All three of these players were imported as an SP in OOTP 24 instead of their proper positions, where they were imported in OOTP 23. These players were never pitchers in real life, and I don't think any of them ever pitched an inning at any level, but they have some pitching stats in the database, and many of the same limited pitching stats are repeated across different years, so there is something wrong with the data. But the big difference is that they were imported at correct positions in OOTP 23, with proper batting ratings based on their batting stats and proper minor league roster assignments, despite having some limited pitching stats and being given substandard pitching ratings. In OOTP 24, they were imported as SPs, placed on MLB rosters as pitchers, and in two of these cases, they were given batting ratings as if they were pitchers, even though they have real-life batting stats for proper ratings.
Whatever is going on here seems to be a problem with the database as well as what OOTP 24 is doing with it. It's definitely not the same as OOTP 23 when comparing the same players and conditions with the same settings. And it's not simply a matter of players suddenly appearing who didn't get imported previously.

I asked above, but just want to ask again since it's kind of important as to what specific settings you're using here?
Not so much in connection to neutralized stats, but I think the important setting here might have to do with recalc being on or off. If recalc is on, these guys should all import as or switch to being batters properly. If they are not, then that's a bug.
If recalc is off, that's when this gets trickier as if a guy imports as a pitcher, he might never switch over or vice-versa and we may need to code in a fix here or see how this changed from previous years and revert some code.
Not just for guys with the fake stats, but for real pitcher/hitters too, like Babe Ruth or Rick Ankiel.
