I kind of meant as a rotation pitcher

59, Babe Ruth in 1921. He pitched only 9 innings that year.
In his last season as a "real" pitcher, he hit 29 for the Red Sox in 1919.
If you only mean homers hit by a pitcher while he was pitching (not playing another position too), then it's Wes Ferrell with 9 in 1931 for the Cleveland Indians.

Wes Ferrell of the Indians had 9 in 1931:

Ruth's totals don't count because the majority of home runs he hit were in games where he was an outfielder. He never hit as many as Ferrell while serving as a pitcher.
