I understand this went into effect today. My question is, what prevents a guy pitching to pitch to one batter, then either a) fake an injury, or b) get ejected somehow.

To answer your question, nothing.

Doubt enough would do either so in the long run time of play should still improve :103631605

If MLB saw teams try to do either they may consider mandatory time on IL and 1 game suspension as a deterrent.
