So you want to be a two way player in college? I don’t advocate you doing it but if you still want to let me explain your best chances of making this happen. The first requirments is having the ability to pitch effectively at the college level AND the ability to hit effectively at the college level. This will eliminate 99% of the applicants. If you still think you qualify and want to do it, make sure you go to college as a hitter and not as a pitcher. If you go in as a hitter and establish yourself with the bat you have not eliminated you’re chances of pitching, however if you establish yourself as a pitcher first, odds are you will never be given the chance to hit. At my sons college no pitchers took BP so they never got the chance to “show out”. Even if you can "swing it" they will take the bat out of the pitcher's hands --- but if you can "pitch it" odds are the time will come when you will be given the chance. Don't even mention pitching until you have jacked a few out of the ballpark.
