The 2007-2010 anime series Big Windup! (aka Ookiku Furikabutte, or Oofuri) features high school pitcher Ren Mihashi. He has strong pitching skills, but he lacks self-confidence. He was on a losing team in middle school, and his teammates hated him. (It didn’t help that he was accused of nepotism.)
The anime comedy series Gurazeni: Money Pitch takes the whole sad, sorry story of pro sports contracts and salaries, and cranks it up to 11.

Dorohedoro is one of the more convincing 3D anime shows that still looks like it was in 2D. It’s a great-looking anime with an interesting premise that combines the cyberpunk motif with magic.

Though this show is not profoundly about baseball it definitely is a major puzzle piece in the anime. The show is more of a slice of life drama rather than a straightforward sports anime but sports is a major part of the anime.
The anime is perfectly titled, it is a miracle and definitely an amazing story. The protagonist, Dome Shinjo gets recruited by the Giants. Yomiuri Giants is a famous team and his father also used to play for the same team.
If you want to watch a series that has been set in an alternate universe then I suggest watching Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Extra Last Encore!!
Unlimited Blade Works is adapted twice - to a movie and to a TV series. Honestly, the only reason I was able to make sense of the movie is that I have already read the game by that point. So watch TV series instead, and watch the movie only if you need to refresh your memory. Finally, watch Heaven’s Feel movies.
Both the first game and anime are pretty much identical so you can sorta choose which one you want.
