Too many Wild Pitches? Turn down the Wild Pitch modifier. Is the AI leaving starters in too long? You can set each team's strategy to "hook" guys earlier.
I don't have my game with me at the moment, so someone else is going to have to tell you exactly where to find those options, but they are there. Don't give up too quickly - OOTP is the best baseball sim money can buy.

Good points.
I just wanted to add to what you have already mentioned about going to each team to adjust the team strategy settings. There is a much simpler method but, perhaps, not as precise as what you suggest.
In the league setting tabs he could increase use of relievers from normal to often or maybe even very often. Also, he could change pinch hit for pitchers from normal to often etc.
There's lots of things that can be adjusted with this game. That's what makes it so great. A one size fits all approach to setting just won't do. Gameplay is as different from 1880 to 1980 to 2080 as apples are to oranges.
Also, if I want to play a league on another planet that has slightly lower barometric pressure and gravity I can accomplish that.
To the OP: It's all about looking under the hood.
