A pitcher must pitch to one batter before he can be relieved. The only exception to this would be if the pitcher suffered an injury during warmups or while pitching to the first batter he faced. In that case, should the umpire deem the injury serious enough to warrent immediate medical attention, a new pitcher may be brought in.

What is a double switch in baseball?
A double switch in baseball is a strategic maneuver used in the National League when a manager wants to make two substitutions at once. It involves replacing two players – one pitcher and one position player – in the lineup, with the new pitcher taking over a different spot in the batting order to ensure that the pitcher's spot isn't due to come up soon. This allows the team to optimize their defensive lineup and potentially extend a relief pitcher's time in the game.

Which pitcher is charged with the visit to the mound when pitchers are changed the original pitcher or the new pitcher?
The easy answer is the player who was last designated as the pitcher when the timeout was granted. However, time outs are really charged to the coaching staff, not any pitcher. In Major League Baseball, the pitcher (whoever he his) must be removed when a manager or coach makes a 2nd visit to the mound during any inning, other than for injury (umpires' discretion). Under High School Federation rules, the coach is allowed 3 "free" defensive timeouts during a 7-inning game. He may or may not change the pitcher -- it has no effect on the time-out total. Upon a 4th, and any subsequent, defensive timeout, the pitcher currently in the game must be replaced. In extra innings, the MLB rule is used. Other leagues can alter this rule as they wish.
