Are pitchers capable of hitting homeruns?

It's a ROM created for the Dee-Nee fantasy RBI league using Nightwulf's RBI Editor.  Same players with the same abilities, but on drafted teams.  The uniform colors were changed for each team, so it looks a little weird.

No.

I do not believe you will ever see one playing the original cartridges on NES or on an original ROM.

Grrr!!! I've seen it!!!!!!!!! =D

I refuse to believe that it can happen, even a waltzy.

I've played 1,000s of games and the furthest I've hit a ball was a flyout, not deep at all.   If each pitcher has 0 home runs and has a .150 average, then I believe that they are all programmed with the exact same hitting skills and are only capable of bloop singles or doubles down the line.    There is no way in hell that a pitcher can hit a home run.   I am referring to the 8 bit game ONLY. 
If I ever see it happen I will strip naked and have sexual intercourse with my 8-bit system and then shotgun beers.

Welcome to the forums. All pitchers do have the same "displayed" stats (zero HR, .150 avg), but that has nothing to do with their actual stats used by the game. That said, it was confirmed some time ago that one set of batting data is used by all pitchers in the game. More information on this topic is available in the FAQ.

I've never seen a pitcher homerun myself, but I wouldn't rule it as impossible either.

I think I speak for all of Dee-Nee when I say ...

At this point anyone that didn't believe a Pitcher HR is possible would have to think that multiple respected forum members are lying.

Not fucking possible.

EDIT: Although, I have seen a bunch hit to the warning track, but none off the wall. Usually an all star, and Blyleven has hit a bomb for me...All have resulted in outs however.

I strongly suggest you consider shotgunning the beers first.

Or just not remembering correctly...

It has been done.

That is all.
