Naturally, they didn't get it right

It's from "The Natural" -- Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs delivers a pitch in the scene at the county fair where he's about to strike out "The Whammer" (Joe Don Baker) and change the course of his baseball career. This publicity shot above issued by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to promote the new director's cut version of the movie (coming out April 3) has one small flaw.

The mistake? Yup, Redford is a left-handed pitcher in the movie. Not a righty.
Couldn't they have at least looked at the box from the last DVD release (left) of the movie that first hit the cinema in 1984?
