Best Hitting Pitchers In Baseball

[BobHarvey]

In no particular order:

Dodgers- Randy Wolf

Cubs- Carlos Zambrano

Diamondbacks- Dan Haren

[gummo]

Reds - Micah Owings

[LT Profits]

Owings and Zambrano were first two I thought of.

Dontrelle and CC are good too, but they are in the wrong league.

Honorable mention to the Jasons: Marquis and Jennings (wherever he is these days)

[Mikail]

What about Cliff Lee?

What about Cliff Lee?

Honestly don't know, spent whole career in AL until recently. The six guys I mentioned have a track record.

[LT Profits]

Oh and I am assuming Rick Ankiel no longer qualifies.

[keyboarding]

Reds - Micah Owings

He gets my vote.

Mike Hampton, although he is not much of a pitcher anymore.

he was one of the first good hitting pitchers in our time,then they came like flies,

[Nickelicious]

For slugging percentage, I would think Zambrano tops the list. Getting power out of the ninth spot is a real plus.

[Rio DiNero]

Zambrano is the only pitcher I've seen the manager call to pinch hit when he still had other players on the bench.

ive seen hampton and owings pinch hit in ball games also

The first two that came to mind were Dontrelle and Micah.

First half of the year Micah was pinch hitting pretty regularly.......kind of a slap in the face to their bench players.

He is getting old now, but I remember when he was the fastest guy on the NYM.

Crazy Charlie Z, Headcase Hampton and Jason Marquis popped into my noggin initially. Adam Wainwright deserves some mention, believe he's around .230-.240 career hitter with a few flies.
