My number just randomly changed on me 3/4 into the season. I don't know exactly why, but here's what happened around this time:
- I finally switched back into a two-way player after maxing out my pitching stats in my first 3 years in the majors. Played two games as a RF wearing my preferred #15 with no issues.
- Before my first pitching start as a two-way player, my number somehow went to a worse pitcher who's been on the roster too for years (but not longer than me). I didn't notice I was wearing #16 until my player went on the mound.
- My pitching loadout rates me at 99, but my RF loadout is only at 69 (nice!). Perhaps switching to a loadout with a much lower rating triggered the number hierarchy?
