The Deliveries of the Chiba Lotte Marines

Continuing the look at deliveries in the NPB, this post focuses on the Chiba Lotte Marines pitching staff. The Marines have the worst ERA in Japan's Pacific League, but they do not have the worst strikeout rate and their walk and home run rates are about league average. At 26.5, their average age is the best in the Pacific League, with the rest of the teams at least 28 years old on average. So for all the pitchers on the active roster I could find (I think all but two of them), I made GIFs of their deliveries and put their career NPB kwERAs next to their names
