He was such a good-hitting pitcher, Stengel would put him in the game as a pinch-hitter (in which he got 80 hits). His W-L pitching record was 85-69.

I was looking for pinch hitting stats for Ruffing and Lucas but can't find them on Baseball Reference, they only show appearances by position. I do see that his Wikipedia article says that Byrne had 80 pinch hits, but that does not seem likely given that he had only 93 appearances as a pinch hitter. But I can't find a source that has his full pinch hitting numbers.
