As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the player with the fewest strikeouts in Major League Baseball history (with a minimum of 1,500 plate appearances) is Joe Sewell. He struck out only 114 times over his career, which spanned from 1920 to 1933. Sewell's exceptional contact skills and disciplined approach at the plate contributed to his remarkable ability to avoid strikeouts.
When there are already 2 strikes on the batter.
After three strikes.

Yes he can.
A strikeout is an out when a batter accumulates three strikes.
Baseball is a game of balls and strikes: the pitcher throws the ball, and the batter tries to hit it. If the batter swings at the ball and misses, that is called a strike. A batter gets three strikes (three efforts to swing at the ball) before being called "out."
Ball's dead and runners can't advance.
either the pinch hitter or both
When an umpire calls a full count, that means the batter has 3 balls and 2 strikes. A full count (3-2) is the highest number of balls and strikes a batter can get before he is either awarded a base (on balls) or is out (on strikes).
The pinch batter assumes the count that the original batter had.
There is no limit to the number of fouls a batter can hit.
a perfect game
