Definitely more common in softball with slappers/bunters. But I've seen it a few times in baseball - once after a kid got hit in a shoulder while swinging - he switched to protect the sore shoulder. A few times if a pitcher was changed while he was batting.

Joaquin Andujar used to do it simply at random at times - never figured out the method to his madness.
