The protagonist of the story, Harada Qiao, is a highly talented but introverted and lonely baseball teenager, he has a weak and sickly but and his brother Harada Aobo who loves baseball, the mother is always worried about the younger brother's body, do not let the younger brother touch baseball, so the brother silently carries the heavy responsibility of taking care of the younger brother, but is often misunderstood and scolded by the mother.
First encounter with a partner
At the beginning of the movie, the Harada family moved to the small town where their grandfather was located, and after moving to a new home, they happened to meet Nagakura Hao, who was also about to enter the junior high school, but Hao had promised his mother that after elementary school, he would no longer be exposed to baseball, but qiao's arrival completely changed Hao's mind.
As the receiver, Howe very much wanted to feel the ball thrown by the same age but extremely talented pitcher in front of him, after feeling the speed of the ball several times, Howe finally grabbed the ball thrown by Qiao, "Can you let me catch your ball every day?" Hao's eager intention also made Qiao, who had been lonely for a long time, smile.
Campus turmoil
On the first day of school, the unruly Qiao encountered "trouble" and was harassed by the school demonstrator Zhan Xi and the baseball department consultant Tomura Teacher, known as the "Devil's Head".
On the baseball field, the jaw-dropping pitching makes the "Tomura Demon Head" have nothing to say after experiencing it (Harada's grandfather is toki Tomura's former baseball coach, and Tomura-sensei actually appreciates Harada's baseball talent)
Qiao's pride was finally jealous, and after training one day, he was taught a lesson by the third-year senior in the equipment room by Zhan Xi, who was also on the baseball team... Ozawa, who witnessed everything outside the door, was worried that he had been victimized and did not choose to announce this matter, and Ozawa, who blamed himself, was very guilty, and did not come to the class the next day, and qiao and his party went to the temple where Ozawa was after class, and found Ozawa, "Come to school tomorrow to play baseball together" Qiao's invitation made Ozawa also let go of guilt.
The next day Ozawa timidly came to the teacher's office and wanted to tell the teacher what happened, but he did not expect that at this time, he happened to be seen by Zhan Xi and was pulled away to "teach a lesson", but this time he was caught by the teacher of The Village, and when he was educated by the teacher of the village, Zhan Xi pushed the teacher of the village away and caused the head of the village to be injured unexpectedly.
The bad news of the baseball department also came, and because the incident was known to the principal, the baseball department's activities and participation in the big game were all canceled.
Talent duel
Unwillingly, Tomura's teacher, eager to see Qiao flashing on the court, invited the fourth sticker of the summer runner-up Yokozuna II, the third-grade student Known as "Monster", to play with Qiao.
Encouraged by his partner Hao, Qiao threw a red heart ball with all his strength, and the goal swing failed, after all, Qiao's talent won, but Hao did not catch Qiao's "kill", and Qiao Xian's extraordinary loss... Although he was banned from participating in the contest, Tomura-sensei made a private appointment to compete with Yokozuna Ii.
Crisis of confidence
The game came as scheduled, the key to this duel, was Qiao's grandfather in the words "this game, is a battle based on Qiao's full strength", because the baseball partner Howe often can't catch the ball thrown by Qiao, and the opponent seizes the opportunity of "immortal three strikes", Qiao is also distracted, begins to turbulence, is hit by the door to shoot a home run, and then Qiao began to worry about always daring to pitch at full strength, and the other party also seized the opportunity to score on base.
The game ended with the arrival of the cross-handed coach, a private appointment, and there were third-year students, who were not allowed, and the men who did not play with the full play of the skillful duel were always unwilling, and even released the words of not winning or graduating, so the two teams met to play overtime.
When everyone was preparing for training, there was a rift between the baseball partners, however, wondered why Qiao did not pitch according to his own will, but Qiao was worried that Howe would not be able to catch his own ball and felt lonely, and the two also had a big fight.
The knot opens
With the help of their younger brother Qingbo, the two reconciled, and Qiao also revealed his heart, once because the catcher did not catch the ball he threw with all his strength and lost the big game, and thus had a heart knot, but now because of howe's existence, Qiao's heart knot was unraveled.
At the end of the film, with the encouragement of his brother Qingbo, he stood on the pitcher hill again, and formed a shooting partner with his partner Hao, the rematch between the battle and the cross-handed, the mother also understood that the younger brother could not play baseball because of his poor health, the brother was in his way, with the brother's love for baseball has been insisting, the mother came to the rematch scene to cheer for Qiao, felt everyone's heart of the coincidence showed a long-lost smile, threw the ball in his hand, and the plot also ended with the throwing of this ball.
