"Pitch Meet Catcher: Transfer Wants to Switch"

Norihiko Kurazono's one-shot ``Switch Battery'', based on Masakoban's original work, was released on Shonen Jump+ today, April 11th.

The day Gansuke watched a complete game at a professional baseball game held in Saga, he began aiming to become a great pitcher. He has been a standout since elementary school, and his pitches are getting faster and faster each day. However, before he knew it, there were no catchers who could catch such fastballs, and Gansuke was the catcher in junior high school, hiding his feelings. When the upperclassman retires from club activities and is looking for a new pitcher, Yoshiki Matsuura, a transfer student from Tokyo who was a senior and was on a team ranked among the top four in the country, arrives. He joins the baseball club and quickly becomes a candidate to become the ace. However, Yoshiki learns why Gansuke is playing catcher and offers to catch his ball... This is a 65-page youth drama about baseball.
