Why we picked it

A massive hit in Japan, this inspiring drama chronicles the extraordinary true story of Shintaro Yokota, a rising baseball star whose promising career was cut short by a brain tumor at the age of 21. Drafted by the Hanshin Tigers in 2013, 18-year-old Yokota quickly captured the hearts of fans. By the opening game of the 2016 season, he had earned a spot in the first-team lineup and recorded his first hit, signaling a bright future. But vision problems soon lead to a brain tumor diagnosis and Yokota faced a grueling battle beyond the baseball field.Supported by his family and teammates, he fought with courage and returned to the diamond. In his farewell game he left the stadium in awe...A moving journey of resilience and hope One Last Throw pays tribute to perseverance and the power of the human spirit.
