A genius player sought by all 12 teams awaits his fate.
About
The classroom at Hokkai High School is deathly silent. On the television, the professional baseball draft is underway. Kensuke Yanagida is the "two-way" monster who set Koshien ablaze. With an IQ of 400, he is a master at making others feel superior, yet he remains honest, kind, and capable of putting anyone at ease instantly. Every time his name is read, a stir runs through the venue. Finally, all 12 teams announce him as their first-round pick, and the fateful lottery begins. Ultimately, SoftBank's Manager Sadaharu Oh, along with coaches Hiromitsu Ochiai, Hideki Matsui, and Yoshinobu Takahashi, draw the winning ticket. He carries a promise made to his late father: "I will become the best player in the world." Under the watchful eyes of his mentors and childhood friends, the door to the unknown world of the pros is about to swing open. Now, he aims for the top of Japan and eventually the Major Leagues alongside his teammates.
