Yuuto Sakaeguchi

Serving as the dependable vice captain and second baseman for the team, this friendly first-year student excels at the leadoff position with his exceptional bunting skills. He acts as a vital mediator between the hot-headed Abe and the nervous Mihashi, using his deep understanding of both personalities to maintain harmony. Though he and Abe previously competed against each other in middle school, they are now close teammates, despite Abe occasionally teasing him about his tendency to suffer from stress-induced stomach issues.
