Shunpei Sanada

A pitcher who hits and throws right. He is in his second year of high school. Sanada is the ace pitcher and the pride of Yakushi. He is a passionate guy who inspires his team with his strong pitching which doesn’t match his calm expression. He instantly raises the team’s morale with his aggressive full-strength pitching.

His teammates describe him as an cheerful and sociable person, but there is a complete change in his character when on the mound.

His hobby is cooking, and he specializes in Western-style cuisine. He also enjoys music—particularly hip-hop—and playing World Soccer Winning Eleven, a sports video game.
