Rookies
A new Japanese teacher named Kawato arrives at Futagotamaga High School, where the baseball club has just finished serving a year-long suspension for starting a fight during an official match. With most of the decent players gone, the remaining members are more interested in chasing girls and smoking than actually playing baseball. But under Kawato's unconventional guidance, they discover a new goal: making it to Koushien, Japan's most prestigious high school baseball tournament. The problem is they've only got a few months to pull it off. They're completely out of shape, barely know how to play, and nobody—not the principal, not the other teachers, not the student body—believes in them. As the team trains hard and pushes through their struggles, Kawato's enthusiastic coaching starts winning people over. Slowly, his passion rubs off on the players and the school alike, transforming a group of troublemakers into real athletes chasing an actual dream.
