Yūto Sakaeguchi (栄口 勇人 Sakaeguchi Yūto) is Nishiura High School's baseball team's second baseman as well as one of its vice-captains, the other being Abe.

Background[]

Sakaeguchi's mother passed away in his second year of middle school. The loss almost made him quit baseball, as he felt there was no point in continuing with out his mother watching him. He decided to continue baseball in high school though when he met Momoe in the summer of his third year.

Sakaeguchi attended the same school as Abe in middle school. Both of them played in the Seniors League, although they were in different classes and teams, Sakaeguchi being in a "weaker" team and Abe in a "stronger" team.

Having such experience, Sakaeguchi is considered to be one of the experienced players in Nishiura High School baseball team. He is exceptionally good at bunting and usually bats second.

Appearance[]

Sakaeguchi has short, green-ish brown hair and green-ish blue eyes. He is usually seen in the baseball team's uniform, but outside of the club he wears uniform-like clothes.

Personality[]

Sakaeguchi is a very friendly person, who often tries to set Mihashi at ease. When Abe and Mihashi have trouble understanding each other (due to Abe's short temper as well as his loud manner of speaking and Mihashi's stammering and nervousness) Sakaeguchi generally attempts to mediate, being able to understand both of their mannerisms.
