Last Inning Vol. 37 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

In this climactic volume, the battle between Saiju Academy and their powerhouse rival reaches a fever pitch. Hatogaya's management is cold, calculating, and fueled by a burning desire for victory. He directs his hitters not with platitudes, but with precise data on the opposing pitcher's habits and psychological blind spots. The opposition’s ace fires heaters, but Saiju’s batters stubbornly choke up on the bat, fouling off pitches to drain the pitcher’s stamina. As the crowd roars, Hatogaya calls for a squeeze play—a high-stakes gamble where a single mistake spells doom. The tension explodes as the runner sprints home, the defense panics, and the umpire makes the final, decisive call. Beyond the diamond, the story reveals how this grueling match transforms the players themselves. From a desperate deficit caused by a defensive lapse, they claw their way back, proving that baseball is as much a mental war as a physical one. It is a raw, unflinching look at what it truly means to stake everything on a single inning.
