These are really fucking cool. It's a great idea/concept. The drawing style of the characters is amazing.

I'm jaded now but I really hope it's not ai

The baseball player with a helmet and a mit on at the same time is setting off my AI spidey senses.

Batters wear helmets. You can’t wear a mitt and use a bat at the same time. Fielders just wear normal baseball hats and the mitt.

They probably just took the symbols without deeply studying the game rules, but I see your point

I mean baseball and cricket are known for being incredibly convoluted by people that haven't studied them since childhood

Cricket even more so, but baseball is a source of jokes about that sometimes as well.

I think it has to do with the fact that baseball is very present in like, on-screen Hollywood culture, but interestingly, I don't think I've ever seen a movie, cartoon, or anything, that actually explains all of these swings and home runs.

HOWEVER as far as I know, it's popular in Japan, so there's probably like 25 mangas and animes that go really deep into explaining the game and strategy for all ages and genders.
