Magic floating baseball when taking a pitch?

[dplpbbp]

I've submitted a bug report, but was wondering if anyone has encountered this and has an explanation. When taking a pitch, a floating baseball will often appear (head-high) immediately after the pitch. In the photo, you can see it in front of the batting lineup on the scoreboard. I first noticed it last year (my first with the game), but it is still happening this year.

I see it everytime they do one of those split screen presentations with the hitter and pitcher.

There will be a big baseball floating in front the batters head.

How long is it floating there? Because last year I used to think the same thing then I realized it's just the catcher throwing the ball back and I'm pressing X right at the time where the ball appears then stops mid-air, it will stay there for a second while the next screen loads.

I use Fast Play presentation, with no cutaways from the batting camera, and I’ve seen this floating baseball. Generally on screen for less than a second.

Does it happen on pitch outs? And does it dance around?

I always assumed it was the catcher throwing the ball back to the pitcher but the scene gets truncated. Never thought of it as a glitch.

This was in '15 as well. Maybe '14 too I don't remember.

It's only there for a second or two. It's not the catcher throwing the ball back because it appears and disappears in the same location, no forward or lateral movement.
