Takeaway is that hitting streaks are rare even for great players. I've definitely not done insane amounts of testing, but every season I do see a handful of players with 20 game hitting streaks, and once every couple seasons I think someone hits 30. As far as I'm concerned, it's not significantly off from real life.
I don't think I've seen a 4HR game either, but I don't always pay attention to the whole league. And if you actually only look at 1 team, even 100 seasons might not be enough. I mean, there have been something like 16 or 17 of them in the last 100 years in the MLB as a whole, which is how many team-seasons? For one team, they probably only average 1 4hr-game per team per 100 years, so the fact that you haven't seen one is probably not all that uncommon. If you haven't seen one league-wide in that time, then maybe there's an issue. I imagine OOTP could add some more adjusting, maybe changing players' hot vs cold in-game, so that after the first 2-3 HRs in the game, he's hot and thus boosts his power slightly. Although a tweak like that is tough to balance properly.
