Popout reads

Considering a hitter who does not have a popout on his card, but sustained a popout last night with no one on base.
Looking at the opposing pitcher, he does not either.
In looking at how to read the hitter/pitcher cards, there seems to be no other way to get popout read other than with men in scoring position.
Unless the CATCHX resulting in an out could be recorded as a popout??
Any thoughts as he is an expensive addition???

Three ways he could have gotten a popout:

1. Failed ballpark single
2. Failed to bunt for a base hit
3. Catcher's Card X

Thanks!!

I thought a failed ballpark single is recorded as a lineout??

Three ways he could have gotten a popout:

1. Failed ballpark single ??????????????
2. Failed to bunt for a base hit
3. Catcher's Card X

The online game uses the Improved Out Distribution maximum rule which reads (bolding mine):

This option overrides some of the default outs assigned by the board game for a more realistic distribution of outs. For example, ballpark chart outs can become fly outs, pop outs, ground outs, etc. instead of just lineouts. This option also causes foul outs to be distributed amongst other players including second baseman and short stops.
