Yes. There have been a few "switch pitchers"
Greg Harris did Sept 28, 1995. He was the last guy to do this in the MLB.
I also remember hearing a story of a minor league pitcher who did this in a game.. against a switch hitter, and the two switched back and forth many times until the umpire had to intervene.
read the bottom of this page for a brief mention of the story:

no
Jose Canseco
Huh….ambidexterous pitcher. That would mess up an entire lineup.
Id say Jim Abbott of the Angels used both hands
Yes, i remember reading it once. a very long time ago but i remember that he would raise his hands in his wind up then decide on what arm he would use. i believe it was banned a year later because it through hitters off too much
There’s some college kid doing it this year. Can’t remember his name or team. It was in SI.
There’s a kid from Creighton University named Paul Venditte who did it this past season. While you can switch during a game, I think it is illegal to switch hands during the same at-bat.
wow good Q ,i learn something new,from this answers.
i know this billy wagner use 2 be a righty,but his arm got broken and he swithed 2 being a left handed pitcher.
well i didn’t know until now
Greg Harris – He was the only pitcher ever to do it. The glove he used in the game is in the Hall of Fame as a special exhibit.
To three points tar – Get off that crack boi, Jim Abbott only had one arm you fool.
yes there is a guy that appeared in the 2006 JUCO world series who pitch one inning right handed and the second with the left
