Brian Dozier does not approve.
My favorite - 1991 Upper Deck Silver Slugger insert of Don "The Caveman" Robinson.

Is that a Klector?
Ok. Let's turn the tables. Are there any baseball cards with non-pitchers pitching?

Isn't there one with Canseco?
No need to research it yourself, just ask Tanner!
Here's one from the Nolan Ryan set:

And another Pacific Ryan image used twice:
Here's a card of Jose, throwing knucklers in Fenway after hurting himself warming up in the 'pen.
how about a pitcher sliding!

Here's Doctor K depicted on an 86 Fleer Miniature on what was likely a very cool Florida morning. Doc is decked out in long sleeves, wristbands, and gloves, and doesn't appear to have made it to bed yet after a hard night of partying.
I was at the game canseco pitched at Fenway. It was a blowout and we had bleacher seats. I freaked out when I saw him warm up in the bullpen and ran down and watched him close up from the railing. It was awesome.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
That one's neat; I've never seen it before.

I need to try to find it, but I know there is a picture of a card of a Brewers pitcher holding a bat. I love it because the Brewers were an AL team at the time. Makes no sense!
I'm not sure they qualify with the intent of the OP here since he was playing shortstop at the time before he became a pitcher, but all of Trevor Hoffman's 1989 & 1990 cards picture him with a bat.
who can forget joe coleman
I dont endorse posting bartolo cards, but ....
Sutter was a borderline HOFer IMHO. Must have been his bat that got him over the line with some voters ...
If Sutter's bat gets him in HOF, I guess Moose is next ....
El Presidente
these guys could actually hit
Jim was such a good hitter, he was sometimes called on to pinch hit. I doubt if many of the other pitchers (maybe Drysdale) could claim that!
Bob Gibson could swing the bat. I remember Rick Rhoden was a good hitting pitcher back in the day.
Andy
BTW, Kaat pinch hit 24 times. Drysdale 25. Walter Johnson 128.
I think that is fairly recent. For a long time they alternated years, which makes it easier to build a roster.
this guy was awesome
this guy was meh
just holding a bat counts?
this guy was pretty good
