Ball is not catched by shortstop.
---------------------------------
This is a glitch. After a play that ends with the first baseman having 
the ball, sometimes it happens that the player will throw the ball to 
the shortstop. The ball will then usuall go into the outfield.

Faster training hours:
----------------------
To get more training hours faster in Career mode, do not sign long term
contracts. Just sign one year contracts and do not renew after the season.
Find a team that is weak in your position (or stay with your team) and go 
to spring training. If you are a position player, you will receive an 
extra 600 to 900 hours if you simulate, if you want more hours, play 
the games. You will make the team almost certainly. If did not make the
team, you probably would have started the season in the minors regardless
and not signing will not hurt you but only help.
