Well, Adachi is pretty popular so i see no reason why his series won't get a following. This is his first work in a long time to be animated.

I mentionned it because the advertising only started at ep8, and not from the start. Maybe because the potential had not been anticipated.

Regarding Koh batting/pitching, I guess they want to show he's complete. He will probably become one of the best pitchers in Japan, if not the best, but he'll also be very good at batting, making him an exceptionnal baseball player. Being the cream of the crop is important for a main character in a Shonen Show, probably even more in a sports show.
Am I right?

I'm fairly sure the over confident batting guy will admitt he lost completly when he understand he's beaten both in batting and pitching.
