It is called a foul
when it comes out the pitchers hand
In baseball, pitchers are more frequently hit in the face than hitters. This is primarily because pitchers are closer to the batter and are often targeted by line drives or foul balls. While hitters do occasionally get hit in the face by errant pitches, such incidents are less common compared to the risks faced by pitchers during play. Overall, the dynamics of the game make it more likely for pitchers to experience facial injuries.

A southpaw is a lefty. Sports like baseball track the stats of pitchers and batter also by noting the predominant side of brain.
A pitchers count is when the pitcher is leading the count and not the batter he is facing. (ex. If the count is 1-2 it would be a pitchers count because there are more strikes then balls.)
Pitchers do not wear helmets while playing baseball because they are positioned far away from the batter and are not typically at risk of being hit by a batted ball. Additionally, wearing a helmet could potentially affect their performance and comfort while pitching.

No, not a batter. Pitchers have struck out the side, and there have been unassisted triple plays though
Yes, there is no restriction on changing pitchers during an at bat, unless the current pitcher just entered the game and the batter is the first batter he faces. The pitcher must face at least one batter before he can be replaced, unless the pitcher is injured, or ejected from the game.
If he is running outside the baseline as he legally should, it's a foul ball. If he happens to be in the field of play he's out.
Pitchers prefer batters to stand at an increased distance from the plate because this makes it easier to get them out with an outside pitch. In order to persuade the batter to stand further from the plate, pitchers will throw one or more pitchers very close to the batter's body hoping that the instinctive fear of being hit by a pitch will cause the batter to stand further from the plate on the next pitch. When the batter's teammates see this happening, they will shout encouragement to the batter telling him to "hang in there". In other words, don't move away from the plate and thereby give an advantage to the pitcher. Also nautical: Relief is coming soon.
