Wow, I would have never guessed in a million years that I'd see baseballsavant on Danbooru.
Hmm, I didn't know of that site, but it seems so. I wasted a little time trying to find the player Gura's stats here are taken from, but I can't find anyone quite that bad. It might not help that I know next to nothing about baseball or what most of these stats even mean.

baseballsavant is a site that uses big data to predict future baseball performance. It helps predicts whether a player is going to eventually regress to the mean or if they're getting unlucky. Blue = Bad, Red = Good. In Gura's case, she's not throwing the ball hard (Fastball Velo 4th percentile), not striking any one out (blue Chase% and Whiff%), and is only average at creating easy groundball outs (GB% is average). Usually if a team is using a pitcher like this, they're only pitching because their other guys are hurt or their player just getting insanely lucky.
