Is it possible for a pitcher to hit a homerun in RBI Baseball?

According to this fan based website:

Is it possible to hit a home run with the pitcher?

Apparently, it is. I have received more than a few emails and read messages on my forums confirming the pitcher homer. The people on the forums are reliable folks and I am certain they are telling the truth, so it is possible. In every case I've read, the ball is lined down the left/right field line and goes through the top of the wall (aka the wallzie)>. That being said, none of the Dee-Nee crew or anyone I know personally has ever gone yard with the pitcher. But we will...

Just some additional information on the pitchers when it comes to batting as far as determining the hitting of the ball:

I'm not 100% sure how reliable the resource is, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of other information out there for this game that I have found.


A pitcher can definitely score a home run... although maybe not in the usual way. I was curious so I spent about an hour looking at various videos of the game, and while I did not come across a straight home-run, I did find this:

There were also a few videos of what was either a glitch or cheat that seemed to turn contact into a home run.
