How many pitches have been thrown to any one batter before getting out or hitting the ball?
At least one pitch and in the other side the number could be unlimited. Remember that the maximum count is 3 balls and two strikes and after next pitch either is base and balls or strike out the batter. Problem is that after the second strike every other foul is not counted and this is the reason it could be an unlimited number of fouls. I have seen bat turns with sixteen pitches to make a batter, but could be more as it is explained.

How many pitches can a batter take without swinging his bat?
Here are some answers from the community:Well, if he keeps hitting foul balls he could theoretically stay there forever. Doesn't usually happen though. Three strikes and he's out. Four balls and he walks. Theoretically, unlimited. If the batter keeps hitting 3rd strike foul balls, he could stay there indefinitely.11 pitches. Two outs in the inning, runner on base, 3-2 count, and runner gets caught stealing for the 3rd out. The same batter leads off the next with the same at bat receiving a 3-2 count for a total of 10 pitches, the 11th pitch is a hit, walk, or strike out.
What is the official scoring for the batter if he is hit in fair territory by his own batted ball?

What is the highest number of pitches to a batter in a single at bat?
First of all their is no official record but, the answer your most likely looking for is Luke Appling. The legend has it that on one occasion, Appling fouled off 17 (other sources say 14) straight pitches before hitting a triple. The story goes on to say that he did it to get even with a team owner who wouldn't give him a box of baseballs to pass out to the fans. NOTE: I read in the original Bill James Historical Abstract that Roy Thomas once fouled off 22 pitches. John McGraw and Willie Keeler were both known for their ability to foul off pitches at will.
