Major S1

Gorou Honda is a young boy with a one-track mind: baseball. He looks up to his father, Shigeharu, and vows to chase the same dream of becoming a pro. Gorou’s earnest admiration becomes a quiet source of strength for Shigeharu as he keeps pushing forward through grief over his late wife and the frustrations of riding the bench on Blue Ocean’s second squad.

When a serious elbow injury threatens to end Shigeharu’s career, he spirals—until a casual remark from a childhood friend makes him reconsider what it means to keep playing. Choosing not to give up, Shigeharu stays in the game by stepping away from pitching and focusing on batting, while Gorou throws himself into training and competition in Japan’s Little League, determined to earn his own place on the diamond.
