Eijun Sawamura loses his final middle school game when a stray pitch misses the batter. A scout still sees promise in his unusual style and invites him to Seidou High School in Tokyo. Eijun accepts, entering a powerhouse filled with skilled players. He announces that he will become the team’s ace. Fellow first-year pitcher Furuya has already made that declaration significantly harder.

Gigguku
Eijun reaches Seidou carrying an unusual pitch and enough confidence to announce that he will become ace. Then he sees how many talented players already fill the team. Furuya, another first-year pitcher, has the speed to claim attention immediately. That pressure makes the dream exciting, because Eijun has to turn raw potential into a reason this powerhouse should trust him.
