One Outs Nobody wins but I  

ワンナウツ

The story begins when Hiromichi Kojima, the star batter of the Lycaons in Japan's Pacific League, heads to the southern Japanese island of Okinawa to train and bring himself out of a slump. There, he meets Toua Tokuchi, a 134-kmph (83 miles per hour) pitcher and the undisputed king of a gambling form of baseball called "One Outs."

After a star pro baseball player like Kojima is utterly defeated by Tokuchi he asks him to sign up with the Lycaons, however he does it under an unusual contract: he gets 5,000,000 yen (about US$46,000) for every out he pitches, but loses 50,000,000 yen (US$460,000) for every point he gives up.
