A home run paradise built on a lineup with immense destructive power! Their cleanup trio, all with 100+ RBIs, is especially devastating. Their pitching staff has some issues. The manager is Yujiro Ishimoto, who has over 500 career home runs.

The Tochigi Golden Blocks. A team that plays solid baseball with reliable defense and a rock-solid pitching rotation. Their lineup lacks punch. The manager is Manabu Sasaki, a legendary shortstop and 12-time Gold Glove winner. They are heavily data-driven.

The Aomori Super Fires. When they get on a roll, their lineup is the most terrifying in the league. Pitching staffs dread facing them when they start batting around. Conversely, they aren't very threatening if you don't let them find their rhythm. The manager is Reiji Yamamoto, the former immovable number four hitter for the Fires.

A team that effectively ends the game by the 6th inning. Their winning percentage when leading after six innings is a staggering 90%.

The manager is Koji Akagi, who has 307 career saves.

The Aichi Fresh Fighters. A perennial underdog. Though the team is weak, they are beloved by a loyal local fan base.

The manager is Seiji Yoneda, who spent 22 years as the Fighters' catcher.

A perennial powerhouse with high overall completion. The lineup is well-balanced and the pitching staff has no openings. The fans are passionate and known for heavy heckling. However, because they play on a dirt infield, their defense is statistically worse than other teams. The manager is Ryoya Sashihara, the ace from their legendary five-consecutive-championship era.

A steady team that fights using small ball and aggressive baserunning; their defense is tight and leaves no openings. They are strong in close games but struggle to recover once they give up a large lead. Their middle defense is a regular fixture for Gold Gloves. They lack power hitters. The manager is Kenji Ishida, who has 400 career stolen bases.

A team built on pitching. Led by their ace Wakabayashi, the pitching staff boasts outstanding stability. However, the lineup tends to go silent when runners are in scoring position. The manager is Motoyasu Yoshida, a former setup man for the Phoenix.

A mid-tier club with a good balance of offense and defense. Their cheering section is flashy. They have many fast players and use mobility as a weapon. They lack a true ace for the pitching staff and are weak in close games. The manager is Shin Motoda, the youngest manager among the 10 teams.

The Ehime Orange Wings. The Western League's equivalent to the Kaians. They aim for big innings via home runs. Their starters are weak, but their relief corps is powerful. Unlike the Kaians, their defense tends to be sloppy. The manager is Brad Smith, a former foreign star for the Wings.
