But that could be right up the Royals' alley.
"We do tend to do well against power pitchers," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "It's our ability to put it in play."
According to the website baseballsavant.com, the Royals actually do very well against power pitching, hitting .284 against pitches 95 mph and up.
"It seems it's the guys who throw a little slower and kind of paint the corners that give us trouble," center fielder Lorenzo Cain said.
The Royals, perhaps the most anti-sabermetric team in baseball, drew the fewest walks in the American League at 383.
