One Outs

One Outs is a psychological sports anime centered on Toua Tokuchi, a cunning pitcher who reigns supreme in a gambling version of baseball. When star batter Hiromichi Kojima recruits him for the struggling Lycaons, Tokuchi agrees to a radical contract: he gains 5 million yen for every out he pitches but loses 50 million yen for each run allowed.

This transforms the baseball diamond into a battlefield of wits, where Tokuchi's analytical mind and manipulative strategies defy conventional sportsmanship. The anime delves into themes of risk, intelligence, and the high-stakes psychology behind competition, blending intense sports action with cerebral thrills.
