National League teams will use a designated hitter this year, which means that we won’t see many pitchers hit in 2020, if any.

While we wait to see if pitchers are back at the plate in 2021 or beyond, here’s a look at the signature hits and hitting performances by pitchers for each team.

AL EAST

Blue Jays: Marcus Stroman -- May 18, 2017, at ATL

Toronto pitchers have hit just two homers in franchise history. Stroman got his the hard way, driving an 0-2 pitch from Julio Teheran to the opposite field.

Honorable mention: David Cone 2-for-2, RBI (1992 World Series Game 2 at ATL)

Orioles: Mike Cuellar / Dave McNally -- 1970 playoffs

There have been two grand slams hit by pitchers in postseason history -- both by Orioles pitchers, in the same postseason. In American League Championship Series Game 1, Cuellar hit a one-out grand slam off Minnesota’s Jim Perry. Ten days later, in World Series Game 3, McNally joined him in the record books, hitting a two-out grand slam off Cincinnati’s Wayne Granger. Since then, pitchers have had 114 plate appearances with the bases loaded in the postseason without producing another slam.

Honorable mention: Milt Pappas' two home runs and shutout (8/27/61 at MIN)

Rays: Nate Karns -- July 21, 2015, at PHI
Karns is 1-for-8 in his Major League career, but the one hit -- a homer off Aaron Nola -- provided the lone run in a 1-0 victory. It was the first time since 1962 that a homer by an AL pitcher had accounted for the game’s only run.

Honorable mention: Esteban Yan's first home run in franchise history (6/4/00 at NYM)

Red Sox: Sonny Siebert -- Sept. 2, 1971, vs. BAL
There have been seven multihomer games by Red Sox pitchers on record (since 1904), but this is the only one that was accompanied by a shutout by the hurler in question. Siebert went yard in the third and fifth off Orioles starter Pat Dobson.

Honorable mention: Wes Ferrell, four multihomer games (1934-36)

Yankees: Tommy Byrne -- Sept. 15, 1957, vs. KCA
Byrne was a lifetime .238 hitter who ended his 13-year career with 14 homers and 98 RBIs. He was never quite a two-way player, but he did spend some time at first base and in the outfield in the PCL in 1954. So when the Yankees called upon the 37-year-old to pinch-hit with two outs and two on in the first game of a doubleheader, it was nothing new. This time, he hit a three-run homer to put the Yankees up by one in a game they’d go on to win, 5-3.

Honorable mention: Bob Grim's walk-off home run (9/5/57 vs. BOS)

AL CENTRAL

Indians: Pedro Ramos -- May 30, 1962, at BAL
There have been eight multihomer games by Indians pitchers on record. But Ramos’ in 1962, one of two multihomer games he had in a Cleveland uniform, stands out because he also threw a shutout. Plus, his second homer was a grand slam.

Honorable mention: Steve Hargan's walk-off home run (6/19/67 vs. KCA)

Royals: Zack Greinke -- June 10, 2005, at ARI
Greinke’s hitting prowess is well known now, but he only got 24 at-bats in his career in Kansas City. He made his first career hit a big one, though, knocking a homer to left-center off Russ Ortiz. Greinke’s home run was the first by a Royals pitcher since 1971, and none has hit one since.

Honorable mention: Jim Rooker's 2 HR (7/7/69 at MIN)

Tigers: Mickey Lolich -- 1968 World Series Game 2 at STL
In more than 1,000 career regular-season plate appearances, Lolich never hit a home run. But the postseason was a different story. With a 1-0 lead in the third inning, Lolich’s solo homer extended the Tigers' lead in a game they'd go on to win, 8-1. He also turned in a complete-game pitching effort.

Honorable mention: Earl Wilson's pinch-hit walk-off HR (7/15/66 vs BAL)

Twins: Walter Johnson -- May 19, 1925, at CLE
When the Twins were still the Senators, Johnson was one of the best hitting pitchers there was. He hit 24 career homers, including this one as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of a game the Senators were trailing but went on to win, 4-3. Johnson hit .433 overall in 1925, the highest batting average in the Modern Era (since 1900) among players with at least 100 plate appearances.

Honorable mention: Mudcat Grant's home run (1965 World Series Game 6 vs. LAD)

White Sox: Gary Peters -- July 19, 1964, vs. KCA
Peters belted 19 homers in his career, and four of them were as a pinch-hitter, the most of any pitcher on record. But only one was a pinch-hit walk-off homer, which is what he did in the bottom of the 13th in this game, hitting a two-run homer to erase a one-run deficit for the win.

Honorable mention: Dixie Howell's walk-off home run (9/6/57 vs. KCA)

AL WEST

Angels: Clyde Wright -- July 17, 1970, at WSA
Wright hit four career homers, the most of any Angels pitcher. This one, to extend a 4-0 lead, came in a game in which Wright pitched a shutout. No other Angels pitcher has hit a home run and thrown a shutout in the same game.

Honorable mention: Wright's home run off Lolich (8/14/70 vs DET)

Astros: Nolan Ryan -- April 12, 1980, vs. LAD
Since the Astros were in the NL until the end of the 2012 season, their pitcher-hitting history since 1973 is a bit different than most AL teams. This 1980 homer from Ryan came off fellow future Hall of Famer Don Sutton. It was one of two homers in Ryan’s career, the other coming in 1987.

Honorable mention: Denny Lemaster's 9th-inning go-ahead HR (6/18/69 at ATL)

Athletics: Ken Holtzman -- 1974 World Series Game 4 vs. LAD
Holtzman had already doubled off Andy Messersmith in the opener, but in Game 4, his homer to deep left put the A’s up 1-0 in a game they’d go on to win en route to clinching the Fall Classic in five games. It’s the only home run by an A’s pitcher in postseason history.

Honorable mention: Lefty Grove's 10th-inning, go-ahead HR (8/5/32 at SLB)

Mariners: Félix Hernández -- June 23, 2008, at NYM

Hernández became the first AL pitcher to hit a grand slam since 1971, and none has hit one since. It’s the only homer by a pitcher in Mariners franchise history. Plus, it came off a two-time Cy Young Award winner in Johan Santana.

Honorable mention: Hernández's RBI double (6/23/12 at SD)

Rangers: Yu Darvish -- Aug. 24, 2016, at CIN

Darvish had not homered as a professional -- in the Majors or Nippon Professional Baseball -- until he took Tim Adleman deep in the fifth inning of this Rangers win. It was quite the homer, too, traveling 410 feet with a 105.2 mph exit velocity.

Honorable mention: Mike McCormick's walk-off single (8/26/66 vs CLE)

NL EAST

Braves: Rick Camp -- July 4, 1985, vs. NYM

Camp was in his final season and had never homered, but in a marathon game that also included delays and went 19 innings, he played the hero for an at-bat. He entered in relief in the 17th with the game tied at 10. After a Lenny Dykstra sac fly put the Mets up by a run heading to the bottom of the 18th, Camp strode to the plate with two outs and tied the game -- around 3:30 in the morning -- with his only career home run. He’d go on to allow five runs in the top of the 19th and the Braves lost, 16-13.

Honorable mention: Jim Tobin's 3-HR game (5/13/42 vs. CHC)

Marlins: Dontrelle Willis -- Sept. 20, 2006, at NYM

Willis hit eight home runs in his career with the Marlins, five more than any other pitcher in franchise history. On this day, he authored the team’s only multihomer game by a pitcher, going yard off Oliver Perez and Roberto Hernandez at Shea Stadium.

Honorable mention: Chris Hammond's grand slam (5/29/95 vs. HOU)

Mets: Bartolo Colon -- May 7, 2016, at SD

It may not have been the most impactful, but Colon’s home run is one of the most talked-about in recent memory, given that he seemed to be extraordinarily unlikely to hit one, even for a pitcher. At 42 years and 349 days old, he became the oldest player to hit his first career home run.

Honorable mention: Noah Syndergaard solo homer, shutout (5/2/19 vs. CIN)

Nationals: Stephen Strasburg -- July 18, 2019, at ATL
The top of the third inning started innocently enough, with Strasburg knocking a single to center field off Kyle Wright. But a huge rally got Strasburg up again that inning, this time facing Touki Toussaint. He hit a three-run homer, his first big fly since 2017, to become the fifth pitcher in the past 50 years with two hits, including a home run, in the same inning.

Honorable mention: Zane Smith's pinch-hit walk-off double (5/1/90 vs. HOU)

Phillies: Rick Wise -- June 23, 1971, at CIN
Wise is the only pitcher in history to hit two homers in a game in which he also threw a no-hitter. Wise’s first homer, in the fifth, knocked in two runs to extend the Phillies’ lead to 3-0. Then he led off the top of the eighth with a homer to push the score to 4-0, where it’d remain. Wise would go on to have another multihomer effort two months later, but that one was not accompanied by a no-hitter.

Honorable mention: Joe Blanton's World Series HR (2008 Game 4 vs. TB)

NL CENTRAL

Brewers: Yovani Gallardo -- April 29, 2009, vs. PIT
Gallardo absolutely dominated this game, knocking a solo homer off Ian Snell in the seventh for what would be the game’s lone run. He went eight scoreless innings on the mound, striking out 11. Gallardo became the first pitcher since Odalis Perez in 2002 to hit a solo homer for the only run of the game.

Honorable mention: Brandon Woodruff's NLCS HR off Clayton Kershaw (2018 Game 1 vs. LAD)

Cardinals: Bob Gibson -- 1967 World Series Game 7 at BOS
In a decisive Game 7, Gibson struck out 10 batters in a two-run complete game, his third complete game of the Series. In the top of the fifth, he hit a solo homer to extend the Cards’ lead to 3-0, becoming the first pitcher to homer in a winner-take-all game in postseason history. Gibson was awarded the World Series MVP for his efforts, the second time he’d won the award (1964).

Honorable mention: Adam Wainwright's go-ahead double in 12th inning (6/10/16 at PIT)

Cubs: Kerry Wood -- 2003 NLCS Game 7 vs. FLA
The game didn’t have the outcome Cubs fans wanted, but Wood’s moment at the plate was epic. With two out in the second inning, Wood came up to bat with a runner aboard and homered on a 3-2 pitch to put the Cubs ahead. He would allow seven runs and the Cubs lost the game -- but Wood became just the second pitcher to homer in a winner-take-all postseason game, joining Gibson in the Game 7 noted above.

Honorable mention: Juan Pizarro's solo homer off Tom Seaver and 1-0 shutout (9/16/71 at NYM)

Pirates: Vern Law -- 1960 World Series Game 4 at NYY
Law pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs, but he also had a huge impact at the plate. He hit a game-tying double in the top of the fifth and tacked on a single in the seventh. The Pirates won, 3-2, to even a Series they’d go on to capture in seven games.

Honorable mention: Kirby Higbe's walk-off HR (9/11/47 vs. BSN)

Reds: Red Lucas -- Sept. 20, 1930, at NYG
Lucas hit well enough in his career that he was called upon for pinch-hitting duty a lot, too. He ended his career with a .281 batting average and 190 RBIs. He hit just three homers in his career, but they came at particularly opportune moments. This one vaulted the Reds to a 4-3 lead in the ninth, but they lost on a walk-off.

Honorable mention: Michael Lorenzen's HR and win, also played CF (9/4/19 vs. PHI)

NL WEST

Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw -- April 1, 2013, vs. SF
Kershaw did it all on Opening Day in 2013, shutting out the Giants and helping his own cause in a big way at the plate. His solo homer in the bottom of the eighth broke a scoreless tie and opened up the scoring for the Dodgers, who won, 4-0. Kershaw joined Bob Lemon in 1953 as the only pitchers on record with a shutout and home run on Opening Day.

Honorable mention: Claude Osteen's 3-RBI, 10-inning CG (9/30/72 at CIN)

D-backs: Zack Greinke -- April 2, 2019, at SD

Greinke became the second pitcher in D-backs history to have a multihomer game, joining Micah Owings in 2007, and enhanced the feat striking out 10 or more batters. He became the fifth pitcher since 1960 to reach both marks, joining Madison Bumgarner (4/2/17), Rick Wise in his no-hitter noted above (8/28/71), Pedro Ramos (7/31/63) and Milt Pappas (8/27/61).

Honorable mention: Archie Bradley's Wild Card Game RBI triple (10/4/17 vs. COL)

Giants: Madison Bumgarner -- April 2, 2017, at ARI

Bumgarner’s hitting prowess could’ve made for a whole list on its own, but this performance stands out because of its historic nature. Bumgarner became the first pitcher in Major League history with a multihomer game on Opening Day, going yard off Greinke in the fifth inning and Andrew Chafin in the seventh. He also struck out 11 batters, putting his name on the list involving Greinke mentioned above. The Giants lost, but the Bumgarner hitting legend grew.

Honorable mention: Juan Marichal's walk-off HR (9/21/66 vs. PIT)

Padres: Craig Lefferts -- April 25, 1986, vs. SF
This was a high-scoring, back-and-forth game. Lefferts entered in relief in the top of the 11th and pitched a scoreless frame. In the 12th, however, he allowed a go-ahead single to Robby Thompson. But he made up for it in the bottom of the inning when, after Graig Nettles opened the frame with a game-tying homer, Lefferts hit a walk-off solo homer to end it.

Honorable mention: Calvin Schiraldi's HR off Fernando Valenzuela (9/23/89 at LAD),

Rockies: Mike Hampton -- June 5 vs. HOU & June 10 vs. STL, 2001
Hampton ended his career with 16 home runs, all of which he hit in 2001 or later -- after joining the Rockies. He hit seven of them in 2001, including this string of three straight at-bats with a homer, across two starts. He hit two off Wade Miller on June 5 in the fifth and then sixth innings, then hit a homer off Dustin Hermanson in the third inning of his next start on June 10. No pitcher replicated that feat until Lorenzen in 2018.

Honorable mention: Jon Gray's 467-ft HR (7/5/17 vs. CIN)
