Batter is charged with a strike, ball is dead (like a time out). No runner can advance.
What is the average human reaction time is?
Depends on a lot of factors. Perception to finger movement is somewhere in the ballpark of .215 seconds "average". Average range is something like .14 to .33 seconds. Reaction times as low as .1 seconds are likely possible but hard to measure consistently. Reaction times below .12 seconds would make you part of an elite minority. Some resources to check out: www.humanbenchmark.com Normal distribution of reaction times on a specific task. www.visualexpert.com/recources/reactiontime.html Good rundown of factors that influence "reaction time".

10 seconds from the time the pitcher has the ball in the circle. This rule is seldom ever enforced. The only way you will ever get this call is for the pitcher to get on the rubber and ready to pitch which will show a delay by the batter.

Because everyones reaction time is different. And 3 might be a bit too much.

The average (median) reaction time is 215 milliseconds.

Only in one situation and that is if he can convince the umpires that he suffered an injury between the time he was called in and the time the batter enters the batter's box (like during his warmup pitches). Otherwise, he must pitch to at least one batter.
