abstract:In baseball, a power pitcher is a pitcher who relies on the velocity of his pitches, sometimes at the expense of accuracy. Power pitchers usually record a high number of strikeouts and statistics such as strikeouts per 9 innings pitched are common measures of power.
Leaving aside what he's done statistically, he's a classic powerpitcher, with that high, riding fastball and a set of breaking pitches that dive down and in just under the hands.
