Small bug noticed when playing out games

There seems to be a small bug with how the batter's "batting handedness" is recognized. When playing out a game, the current batter and pitcher are shown at the bottom of the screen. It identifies RHP/LHP and RHB/LHB. It seems that for the batters, it is set to look at their throwing hand, not how they bat. I have seen switch hitters who throw right handed listed as a RHB, as well as players who bat left handed, but throw right handed listed as a RHB. They are on the correct side of the plate when they hit, so I don't think the AI is recognizing them incorrectly, just the spot where it has RHB/LHB in front of their name.

I've also experienced this bug in the pbp screen. The actual positioning of the players is correct on the screen (LHB's are to the right of home plate, and RHB's are to the left), but it is a bit disconcerting to read. Not a major issue, but just one that you guys should be aware of.
