World Series Game 1 Matchups: We’ve got the Power !

In Game 1 of the 2019 World Series we will see Max Scherzer face off against Gerrit Cole. These two guys are the very epitome of “Power Pitchers”, and as baseball fans we could be in for a treat.

Baseball-reference.com has an interesting split in their split pages showing the breakdown of hitters performance against “Power Pitchers”, “Finesse Pitchers” and “Neutral Pitchers” They define it as such:

Power pitchers are in the top third of the league in strikeouts plus walks. Finesse are in the bottom third of the league in strikeouts plus walks.
