| It was really simple, and, I believe, was purposely dumbed down for Jump's readers. The story was good though, and the characters were easily likable. I really hope next time Kishi makes something a little more deep and complex. I didn't like feeling like a 5 year old that was finally given readable material. |
 |
| Pretty generic sports plot, but it was enjoyable imo. The main character's pretty unique, being fat and wearing those glasses. Oh, and seriously, what's up with those noses? |

| I really enjoyed it, and I love the characters already (yay for Fatty!). I hope it becomes something, that'd be super-special-awesome. :) |

|
| Don't really like baseball, but it was a good one shot. |
 |
| Good for a OS. |
 |
| I really hated the first half, I was forcing myself not to immediately drop my reading. The match was bad, but not horrible, which made it far better than the first half in my opinion. |

| It was predictable, and pretty shounen-ish, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it still. |
| it was ok not that i had any high hope for it. |
 |
| Not bad. Had some of Kishi's trademark faces when getting angry. Makes me kinda interested in baseball even though I think it's the most boring sport around. Now let's see the other oneshots. |
 |
| Aha, regarding the funny noses; I just convinced myself that they were all wearing sunscreen ~lulz~ That way I wasn't so distracted by them, rofl. Other than that, it was good. Quite a few funny moments >w< |
| the noses were strange at the beginning.. then it was ok =) anyway OK chapter... nothing special, but nothing horrible also... 7/10 for me |
| nice story but i couldnt take my eyes of of those noses:P |
 |
| hahaha noses xD it was quite simple, can't say i didn't enjoy it. |

| Pretty generic. The whole righty switching to a southpaw has been done before (Major). -_- Wtf is up with those noses? 4/10 |
| I gave it a 9/10. For a one-shot I thought it was great. |
  |
| Pretty good for a OS but not serilization material. Some parts where to 'over the top'. |
 |
| What's up with everybody double posting? (this would be ironic if I did the same) |
| I liked the story, maybe when Naruto is done Kishimoto can get back to it. I really liked the two leads, I mean this really felt like a pilot. Now I am kind of sad that si it. 8/10 |
| My anime list |

| 5/10 Once again Kishi blessed us with a generic and uninspired plot. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It was fun for a one-shot, pretty generic tho', fun to read. But those noses!! What the hell was he thinking.. |
| Lame art, characters and story. It was generic to say the least and makes you wonder what Kishimoto's next serialisation will be like when he finishes Naruto. |
 |
| Cliche by all means regarding sports, but then again it is sports, so it really has to be cliche and generic to some point, I also expected them to have their previous pasts of greatness, regain passion, and so on. Im a big baseball fan so im a bit lenient on this, I certainly enjoyed this more than any recent Naruto chapter. But most important thing about this chapter is, that Hideaki Soreachis next one shot was announced, now that im looking forward to. |

herox3 said: lucjan said: Lol suits him perfectly :) little bigger nose wouldn't do harm tough :) |
|
| I did laugh when he did that triple clone pitch, I just thought......well you know. |
| Cool story loved it. The characters looked somehow alike Naruto's Characters :) 9/10 Thx Kishimoto-san :3 |
     |
| Didn't think I'd enjoy it but I did. But those noses were.. perplexing.. Will be interesting to see which other mangakas will do one shots, and what they'll be like. Can't wait. |
     |
| Although I like the sports genre in general, I didn't like this oneshot. I found it boring. |
| Zzzz.. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Definitely the best one shot released in this Jump series. It's the only one thats actually been a....you know. One shot. Instead of being the start of something that feels like series. |
| So there are 6 one-shots by different authors in total. I have read "Bankara" already as well so I'll be interested in getting to the rest. |
 |
| This is quite boring, honestly. |
| It was a nice read, despite it being nothing too special. I liked how there was an ex-ace in Team D and also how one of them ended up being a really good batter, he just stopped being good because of bad eyesight, lol. That's actually pretty unique, I think. The story was definitely very shounen. Being a Shounen Jump fan since he was young, Kishi really understands the essence of the shounen genre. That's what made this a good read, imo. I can also understand how people felt that this was boring or unoriginal. |
| Pretty generic, as expected from Kishi. Those noses though xD |

| Aww, this story is so bitter-sweet. I like the plot. Way to go Team D! *proud mama* 7/10 I seriously adore Kishi's one shots and I hope he can create even more. |
