I did see a couple animations where 1st baseman was much closer to the bag than the pitcher and he would make an awkward toss to the pitcher. That is more of a movement issue though and should be reported in the movement thread IMO. The ratio of unassisted putouts and tosses to the pitcher (maybe 3 to 1) looked about right just eyeballing on small sample size.

Thanks for this post, because it definitely explains things way better than I did.
You're 100% correct that what was fixed here was not that the animation may sometimes show a toss when the 1B is close enough to the bag to take it himself, but rather how often the 1B makes the putout himself as opposed to going 3-1 in the engine.
