Catching putouts in RTTS

[TheBootMan88_PSN]

I saw someone else talking about this, but what qualifies as a putout for a catcher? I looked online and saw that a catcher gets a put out for catching the third strike on a strikeout. When you look at the performance evaluation as a catcher you will likely see a putout that says sim. I would assume this is a strike out because you catch pop ups, meaning that would not be simulated. However in my experience, if you call the game and catch a strikeout manually it does not give you credit for a putout. Does anyone know if this has been the case in the past, or if this is a bug? I know it is a niche question.
