Jimmy Claxton was an impressive hitter; a .350 career batting average 1914-39, primarily for integrated semi-pro and minor league teams (confirmed 277 hits/794 at-bats). In 1929 he hit a preposterous .667 (36 for 54 at the plate in 17 recorded starts) with 13 hits in 13 consecutive at-bats. He was frequently the starting pitcher and clean-up hitter on every team he played for over that duration. Yakima Indians manager Sonny Sontheimer, once described him as, "a team in himself".

Micah Owings and Adam Loewen. Loewen doesn't seem like he was a great hitter, but he transitioned to an OF after washing out as a pitcher, hit 306 in AAA and then made the Blue Jays roster as an outfielder in 2011. Now he's pitching again.

Ken Brett was no fluke. Ranked first all time on this list.

foggy memory
Didn't Tony Cloninger have 2 grand slams in the same game? Not sure I remember correctly on this, but pretty impressive at least for one game.

Weird list. No Wes Ferrell or George Uhle on that list, and from bouncing around on Baseball Reference, they should be a clear #1 and #2.
