After an errant pitch marks the end of Eijun Sawamura's middle school baseball journey, he and his teammates, fueled by frustration, make a pact to reach the national tournament in high school. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when a scout, impressed by Eijun's unique pitching style, extends an invitation to the prestigious Seidou High School in Tokyo. Embracing the challenge and motivated by his peers, Eijun joins the school with the aspiration to elevate his skills and compete at a higher level.
Transitioning into Seidou, Eijun is confronted by a multitude of skilled players, making it challenging for him to carve out his niche on the team. Despite the competition, he boldly asserts his ambition to become the team's ace. This goal, however, hinges on surpassing fellow first-year Satoru Furuya, whose blistering fastballs secure him a coveted spot in the starting lineup. As these promising players augment an already formidable roster, the Seidou baseball team sets its sights on claiming the title of the best in Japan, gearing up to confront formidable adversaries blocking their path to success.
