Taken from: http://espn.go.com/mlb/statistics/glossary.html Save opportunities. When a pitcher 1) enters the game with a lead of three or fewer runs and pitches at least one inning, 2) enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, or 3) pitches three or more innings with a lead and is credited with a save by the official scorer.
Maybe a "former" bat boy has played in the majors, but, a current team's bat boy is not an active player.
There is no definitive answer since pitches per at bat has not been a consistently kept statistic, however according to the original Baseball Abstract by Bill James, Roy Thomas fouled off 22 pitches & eventually worked the count to 3 balls. This would mean he saw at least 26 pitches (22 strikes + 3 balls + 1 ball in play)
Honus Wagner, he used a 48 oz bat throughout his career for the Pittsburgh pirates.
Mariano Rivera of the Yankees was one. His first ever MLB at bat was in the 8th inning of Game 3 of the 1996 World Series. He grounded out to second base. Rivera had his first regular season at bat in the 2006 season. Roger Clemens was another ... his first ever MLB at bat was in the 3rd inning of Game 2 of the 1986 World Series and his first regular season at bat came in 1996.

Not as far as I know. In the 1960's I observed a Major League game where a batter fouled off 21 consecutive pitches.
