Gekitou Pro Yakyuu

Released in Japan on September 11, 2003, Gekitou Pro Yakyuu: Mizushima Shinji All Stars vs. Pro Yakyuu is a unique crossover baseball game developed by Wow Entertainment and published by Sega. 

Originally an arcade title, this PlayStation 2 port famously blends a realistic simulation of the 2003 Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) season with characters from the legendary baseball manga of Shinji Mizushima, such as Dokaben and Abusan. The game features a striking cel-shaded art style for manga characters and incorporates "spirit gauge" special moves, like zigzagging pitches and spinning hits, that reflect their fictional abilities. Players can engage in exhibition matches, full seasons, or a target-based home run derby, making it a standout pick-up-and-play title for fans of both professional sports and classic sports manga
