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.

What is the maximum number of pitches a batter can face in a single complete at-bat excluding foul balls?

A batter can have a full count of 2 and 3 and then get walked with ball nuber 4, so 6 pitches. However, consider the circumstance of a pitcher facing a batter with two outs and a runner on base. If the pitcher picks off a runner with the count full, the inning ends, and the same batter is up in the next inning with an empty count. Statistically, it is the same at bat, so the maximum number of pitches is in fact 11. 2 strikes and 3 balls in one inning, and either 3 strikes and 3 balls or 2 strikes and 4 balls to lead off the next inning.
