it's completely random. some factors increase or decrease the likelihood, like a tiring pitcher, of course.

at the end of the season you can look at wild pitches, hits batsmen, and fielding percentage and make changes to the league total modifiers (don't change the league totals - just the mods - referenced as LTMs below). get an idea of what you want 'normal' to be from baseball-reference.com or wherever else.

don't be so focused on a small sample size (your team's results). just because something is supposed to happen 10% of the time doesn't mean it can't happen multiple times in a row. once you have a few seasons of data from the entire league, you will know if the percents are way off.

take note of your current LTMs. try running autocalc once and compare the results. e.g. if it has reduced 'wild pitches' by quite a bit, your suspicions were probably right. autocalc can only be used at certain times of the year, i believe.

edit: there is a config file you can edit with notepad or any other txt editor. i'd stick to the modifiers in game though. i think it's in the game's root directory... it should stand out.
