Once again, we’re meeting a baseball player and his wife, creating a further presence both on the field and in the stands.Kazuhiro Nakayama (Ichiban Kasuga in the Like a Dragon video game series) appears as Mitsui, a left-handed starting pitcher. Wakana Kuramochi (Liza in Am I Actually the Strongest?) voices Kisa, Mitsui’s girlfriend who cheers him on from the stands.
Junichi Kitamura (Fluffy Paradise) directs The Catcher in the Ballpark! anime at studio EMT Squared, with series composition by Shigeru Murakoshi (I Parry Everything), character designs by Fumio Iida and music by MONACA (Shangri-La Frontier). The series is based on the manga by Tatsuro Suga.The anime’s official website describes the story (translated):
“Am I your type, Onii-san~?”
One day at a baseball stadium, a gyaru selling beer approaches!? But she’s actually a super innocent and kind-hearted girl…♡
The setting is a pro-league baseball stadium! Many people gather there every day to work and laugh together, and human drama is born there — it’s almost like a town!
So, why not become a “resident” of that town?!
A romantic-comedy full of laughs and tears, dedicated to all those involved in professional baseball!
