George Sisler was fairly impressive in his pitching career. He pitched in 7 different seasons, and in his first couple of years in the majors he had 9 complete games out of 12 starts. Overall he pitched in 111 innings in 24 games, had 1 save, and a 5-6 record with a 2.35 ERA.

Lefty first made the majors as a pitcher but was sent down by the Yankees. he perfected his swing in the PCL and made it back to the show as a heck of a hitter. He fell 1 hit shy of .400 one year, hitting .398.
Don't forget Bob Lemon. He started as an outfielder and was converted to a pitcher. In 1950, he appeared in 44 games a pitcher and 77 games as a batter.
