Great writing for a sport like baseball that's generally pretty boring. In stuff like basketball or volleyball the tension and hype never really stops so when taking on something like baseball that's filled with breaks it's not easy. The art and soundtrack is nothing special, but what really drives this for me is the characters and stories. I really liked learning about the other teams backgrounds and there isn't a single game or arc that I didn't enjoy. I think it's a great watch for a sports anime and it's definitely up there on my list next to Kuroko no Basket and Haikyu.
