I think this is Lim, too (because we can see a "2" on his jersey). But I was not sure that it wasn't Yoshimura.
Thanks for your help, Yakulto.

Lim's awesome, he's yet to give up a run in 10 appearances.
Anyways, he's a side-hander, almost submariner, though, so I'm not sure if he ends up with a follow through like in the picture.

Well I'm pretty sure that's him. He has a strange, hybrid kind of delivery as you say (hence his hot start as he hasn't been figured out yet).
I think that picture looks like it's at Koshien, and it's in the daytime, so I'd say it was taken during him earning his save in the 1-4 win against the Tigers on on April 29th.
And he wears the same kind of tight under-shirt as seen in that picture, too, plus he uses a yellow glove.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

On the Japan Times, I see this nice picture of a Tokyo Yakult Swallows pitcher. The Japan Times said that this pitcher is Masanori Ishikawa, but it's wrong because Ishikawa is lefty. So, does anyone know who this pitcher is?
Thanks.
