Endless potential is at the root of all that's great. Whether it's musicians or sports players, you can see someone's potential right from the start.
This might be a little exaggeration but I feel that way about this fledgling series, I can see this becoming a great story if all the cards are played right.
Much like Hunter x Hunter, it has an average introduction but the slow introduction of other characters in the team will certainly make the story shine bright. I also wish to see our two main characters more fleshed out, especially Ryudo.
I can't really criticise anything currently because not much has happened yet, the only thing I can think of is the generic introduction. Aside from that, the pacing is good, the art is very clean, and there is a clear love for baseball.
I hope this series goes places, especially at a time like this when there's no significant sports manga in the mainstream.
