Source: When All You Have Is a Hammer -
Power pitchers succeed by the speed of their pitches and win games by striking out batters, relying heavily on fastballs.
Source: Useful Notes / Baseball - A pitcher that rings up a lot of strikeouts is great to watch, but since strikeouts take at least three pitches a hard-throwing strikeout artist will tire quickly and be less effective over a game (or a season) than a pitcher who induces batters to hit groundouts and flyouts.
