So, in theory, you could have a situation where (for example) Shohei Ohtani essentially strikes out himself. Suppose Ohtani is at bat with two strikes, the game gets suspended. Ohtani is then traded to the opposing team, and when the game resumes, Ohtani is pitching. If he then strikes out whoever the replacement batter is, he is charged with striking out as a batter and gets credit for the K as a pitcher.
