Yes. This is what real baseball would look like if the talent level was about 100 times better than it is now.

It wouldn't be shocking if Mike Trout struck out 4 times in the All-Star game, just like it wouldn't be shocking if Jacob deGrom gave up 4 home runs in a row. Or if Trout hit 4 HR and deGrom struck everyone out. And imagine the variability if there were 162 All Star games played.

And the All-Star game isn't even close to the talent level of PT perfect leagues.
