Tajima is a clean-up hitter and a baseball prodigy, however because of his small build he is unable to hit home runs. He is a naturally out going person and can thus make up for Mihashi&#039;s shy nature. Mihashi and Tajima have been shown to get along well as they share their love of baseball and bad school grades. During middle school, his great-grandfather had to go to the hospital, but because no one informed him, he had spent the night at home alone, worrying, while the rest of his family had been at the hospital and then went out to eat dinner, completely forgetting about him. Thus, Tajima decided to attend Nishiura because it is very close to his home (5 minutes away), so if his great-grandfather or his grandparents ever go to the hospital, he would know immediately and not be left behind again.

After a falling out with his middle school team, Mihashi enters Nishiura high school with no social skill, a warped opinion of himself, and every intention to quit baseball. The newly formed Nishiura baseball team, however, needs a pitcher, and they welcome him. Most enthusiastic is Abe, a domineering catcher with his own game issues. 
And so a battery every bit as complementary as it is dysfunctional is formed. If they can figure out how to work together, they might be the answers to each other's problems-and the team might be able to win.
