Mike Hampton (Astros, Rockies) was a "beast at the plate" during the 2000's. Carlos Zambrano comes to mind more recently.

I remember Ken Brett (brother of George) was a phenomenal hitting pitching in the 70's prior to the DH.

Hall of Famer Walter Johnson had what is generally acknowledged to be the greatest single hitting season ever by a pitcher. In 1925 -- at age 37, no less -- he hit .433/.455/.577 in 107 PA with two HR and 20 RBI. In addition to being a great hitting year "for a pitcher", the .433 batting average is the highest in MLB history for anyone who had at least 107 PA in a season.
