Mihashi in 1st ep of Big Windup!: cries, calls himself a shitty pitcher, stutters over his own name, gets the fear of god placed into him by a woman squeezing oranges, cries, finds his soulmate/catcher, cries again
Sawamura in 1st ep of Ace of Diamond: cries, bitchslaps 12 students and has the audacity to slap the grown-ass umpire as well, faces off against the strongest looking motherfucker and tries to pick a fight despite being a guest, meets his soulmate/catcher, cries some more
In summary: to be a pitcher you gotta have some good-ass tear ductsÂ
