At just 12 years old, Takumi Harada is already celebrated as a remarkable baseball pitcher. Yet when his family relocates to the remote town of Nitta, Takumi must enroll in his new school's inexperienced baseball squad. This change hardly rattles him, as he thinks the real thrill lies in transforming that unknown club into a dominant force through his talent. Still, with such extraordinary skill, Takumi requires a catcher who can match the speed of his throws.
His concerns vanish quickly after he meets Gou Nagakura. Gou, a fellow pupil and devoted admirer, wants to show that he's more than a boastful kid—he"s capable of handling Takumi's high‑velocity pitches. While they struggle to synchronize their plays, Takumi clashes with teammates over his brash attitude but strives to discover the genuine pleasure of baseball under his grandfather's mentorship. His grandfather, once a local legend, reminds him that true mastery comes from perseverance rather than raw power.
