I'm watching "The Big Windup" a.k.a Ookiku Furikabutte". It plays a lot faster than classic sports anime. Usually the characters fill in the usual stereotypes i.e. the loner, the hotheaded guy, etc. But this team has a quirkier premise in making them the underdogs. Apparently the 1st pitcher was hated in middle school because they believed he got the position from his family ties. Plus there's the fact they never won a single game. It demoralized him and he transfered out for high school, but actually he's very talented. So seeing him gain his confidence with a new team is pretty funny. He keeps making these funny faces that nobody can interpret under different circumstances.
