exhibit a: our protagonist
he makes stupid faces all the time and is convinced that he is a terrible pitcher bc tragic backstory until he finds FRIENDS
he has special protag syndrome meaning he is uniquely talented and tries very hard and is adorable
even then he's still kind of convinced he is a terrible pitcher
exhibit b:
the cutest most feel-good soundtrack in the history of cute soundtracks
[[that song plays every time they start winning a game and get all full of adorable confidence]]
exhibit c: the true meaning of baseball is friendship
this is the catcher realizing that the true meaning of being a catcher is to help the pitcher aka FRIENDS
FRIENDS
BASICALLY, FRIENDS
IT'S SO CUTE WATCH IT SERIOUSLY IF YOU WANT A CUTE FEEL-GOOD ANIME. I FOUND YOU ONE.
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.

eyeshield 21 is amazing
and maybe you should mention that it's called big windup in English in the title
seen this show before, it is quite entertaining

Big Windup is a pretty accurate translation of the title.
If you want a sports series now, watch Ping Pong.

Why would anyone want to watch that? Are you attempting some sort of joke?

utena basically counts as a fencing sports anime, anyway
Eyeshield 21 is amazing and my favorite part about it is that the reason protag is super fast and good at football is because he got really good at running away from bullies due to being a loser in middle school

It is all about how fencing frees you from the grasp of the demiurge. Or something.

Mostly because let's be real any sports anime made in the last 5 years is just a thinly veiled FRIENDSHIP: the series. Like, even more so than other anime, which also tends to be FRIENDSHIP: the series. So I'll watch Football Anime and Baseball Anime and Volleyball Anime because they're about a bunch of dumbass teenagers being adorable and becoming super bffs 5ever through magical anime powers they express through sports
Basically, they're almost exactly the same as magical girl anime, except with boys, but that's kind of the only difference, and therefore they are great

The only sport-themed anime Val is familiar with is Midori no Makibaō, which is notable because A) all of the humans in it are hideous, and 2) the horses are handsome as ****.
