According to Baseball-Reference, there were a total of 1542 wild pitches in the 2012 MLB season. It ranged from a high of 94 for Colorado to a low of 30 for Philadelphia; the average was 51.4; the median, 50.5. With 2,430 games played, that works out to about 0.63 wild pitches per game.

In terms of individual pitchers, Lincecum had 17 wild pitches in 2012; Jimenez, 16; Masterson, 14; Hernandez and Kuroda both had 13.

Unfortunately, BB-Ref's game logs for pitchers don't list wild pitches so there's no way to see exactly how Lincecum or the other pitchers' wild pitches were distributed amongst their games pitched.
