In major league baseball, if it is one time thing with a batter getting hit, then no big deal call the pitch accordingly. However, in the next half inning the pitcher comes and purposely hits somebody, now you come out and warn both teams.
But, if any pitcher hits three batters in one inning, that pitcher is automatically tossed, no questions asked per the Major League rules.

In college, it is the same as FED rulebook.
As far as I know that is all umpire judgement...now I believe chances are that if a pitcher hits three guys the umpire will toss him in MLB. Please quote that rule, because I've never heard that and always thought it was completely umpire judgement.
