Two teams are in the World Series, and you have to be on their rosters to play. They are not "chosen". At the shortest, the World Series will be four games, which will be long enough to use up the entire staring pitcher line-up, so everyone gets a turn. Did you mean the All-Star Game? Pitchers do get chosen for the All-Star Game and are not voted. The manager who wins Manager of the Year Award gets to manage their All-Star team and select the pitchers for that year's game.
During World Series games played in National League ballparks, National League rules are enforced, and the pitchers will both bat like any other position player. During World Series games played in American League ballparks, American League rules are in effect, and both teams have the option use a designated hitter and the pitcher will not bat if this option is taken. If, however, a DH is later put into a game as a position player, the DH option is then lost, and the pitcher must bat.
Not through the 2011 MLB season ... the most is 3 and has been done by many pitchers. Through 2011, only 16 pitchers have won 4+ games in a playoff season. Randy Johnson of the 2001 Diamondbacks and Francisco Rodriguez of the 2002 Anaheim Angels won 5. Fourteen other pitchers have won 4, the last being Chris Carpenter of the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals.
