Yes. Very small chance. It's like 2 out of 108 possibilities each plate appearance.
If a pitcher pitches 300 innings with a WHIP of about 1.25, he is facing an average of just under 4.25 hitters per inning ... resulting in a total batters faced of nearly 1,200 in a full season. With less than 2% of those plate appearances resulting in a check of pitcher defense, it could be only 20 times per season or thereabouts.
