Batter wants a free pass

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.

Mr Sandlin it appears that you may have your facts wrong.

There is NO RULE, under the Official Baseball Rules governing Major League Baseball, to require that a pitcher be ejected for unintentionally hitting any number of batters in any given time frame. OTOH, intentionally hitting even 1 batter results in an automatic ejection WITHOUT WARNING under OBR 8.02(d). That ejection would be followed by a warning to both MANAGERS, not "both teams" per se.

Even if you actually meant LL Majors rather than "Major League" you are probably still quite mistaken, since LL Inc rules essentially follow OBR.

FWIW, the NCAA rule regarding intentionally pitching at the batter is the same as OBR, not FED. FED is slightly different in that it mandates warning or ejection for "intentionally throwing close to a batter".[FED Rule 6-2-3 and Penalty]

Hope this helps
