This was a catcherX roll and therefore does not refer to the pitcher's WP rating

It looks like Muddy Ruel (1924?) is the catcher. The '24 Ruel is 1e6.

On a CATCH-X roll, there is a 15% (3-in-20) chance of getting W/G and a 5% chance of W/S. For both results, if no error or rare play occurred, then a wild pitch is thrown. For an e6 catcher, there are 21 chances in 108 to get E1, E2, or RP. So, 87 chances for a wild pitch or 81%.
So, overall, that's a 16% chance of a wild pitch on a CATCH-X with an e6 catcher, as long as someone in on base.
Getting a CATCH-X roll is just 3-in-216 to begin with. So, 16% of 1.4%, as long as a runner is on base.
