Tamaki Yamazaki

Tamaki Yamazaki is the starting catcher for Shin-Koshigaya High School's girls baseball team, commanding the game from behind the plate as the squad's tactical anchor. A childhood friend of pitcher Eimi Takeda, Tamaki brings a wealth of experience from her middle school days, where she played as the first-string catcher for a powerhouse team and advanced to the national tournament. Despite her elite background, the brutal pressure of high-level competition once pushed her to the brink of quitting the sport entirely. It was a fateful reunion with Eimi—and catching her extraordinary breaking ball—that reignited Tamaki's passion, transforming her into the commanding presence who now leads her team forward.
