Player card view?

Ok so yeah you push R2 and it gives you a view of your players card. Why wouldn’t it show my opponents card rather than my own card? I know who My players are. Say the guy Brings in a pitcher you want to take a look because he buttoned through the card showing. What do you guys think?

Good point

I use R2 to see how they pitched to my particular batter last AB, or how I pitched to my opponent.
When pitching, does it show the batter or pitcher’s card? I’ve never paid attention to that part, because I only hold it for a split second to keep any kind of delay in a windup or anything.
