I know of some pitchers who would switch hit in school, as often many of those pitchers also played other positions in games they didn't pitch. Usually it seems when those pitchers are drafted however, their coaches generally convinced them to bat from just one side of the plate (the side where their pitching arm is protected from being hit by a pitch while batting).
There obviously have been some exceptions (including some who were not switch hitters, but hit from the opposite side from which they pitched from).. but that seems the most common that I have seen.
