Not sure there is anything in the player that would control this.
On the pitching side, control i assume plays a factor

Getting HBP (batter) is a category in the editor for player creation as is the propensity to hit batters for pitchers, so I assume that the interaction of the two is important in the game.
I'm not sure how pitcher control factors in (if at all) with the separate HBP category, but at least it should be true that a batter with a higher number in this category should be hit by more pitches in the game.

I just tried it. Hunt was hit 48 times in a sim of the 1971 season.
