Synopsis
Childhood pitcher-catcher duo faces crisis when yips threaten their decade-long shared dream of reaching Koushien.
"I thought the distance between us would stay like this―" A love story between a cool catcher and a stupid baseball pitcher, childhood friends and battery-mates. The pitcher Yuudai and Shoutarou, the catcher, have been childhood friends and a battery since they can remember. The third year baseball players retired and now it's time for the the second year players to start aiming for the Koushien! However, before the autumn tournament, Yuudai suddenly starts to have the yips, which leads to an unexpected change in their lives. After embracing the same dream and chasing the white ball for 10 years, the distance between the two swayed... What will become of them? (Source: MU)
