Switch pitchers who are good switch hitters

Are switch pitchers also switch hitters?

Yes, several switch pitchers have the ability to switch hit. 
But, many switch pitchers bat left-handed only. 

A few ambidextrous pitchers continued to switch hit in high school, while others decided to focus on hitting only right- or left-handed. Many switch pitchers, like Drew Vettleson, are solid left-handed hitters.

Some switch pitchers become "pitchers only" in high school – especially on summer teams.
