If they had to hit every game they pitch, they'd get better. It's just that there's been a couple of generations of pitchers whose hitting skills have been atrophied by the DH rule. There are, and have been, some great pitchers who could hit as well as an everyday player:
Babe Ruth
Don Drysdale
Bob Gibson
Satchel Paige
Christy Mathewson
Walter Johnson
Tony Cloninger
Bob Welch
Burt Hooten
Dontrell Willis
