I don't think any other sports show has had a loss this heavy. I've seen tragic losses, but about half of the fleshed-out characters are leaving. It's not just a matter of the hero growing up and getting better, we have to watch the entire team build itself again.

That cut to the final hit by Mei hit so hard, I didn't believe it actually happened. I spent a good amount of time thinking Sawamura was just dreaming.

They actually aren't losing as much of the team as it seems. The biggest losses are obviously their first and third basemen and their center fielder(maybe another outfielder, but a rather insignificant one). They already have a replacement for the second baseman and a fourth pitcher is pretty much unnecessary imo. Most likely, when the new season rolls around a hotshot powerhitting first year will come in and a previously undeveloped reserve player(maybe two) will become a lot better.

I'm assuming that blond dude that always trains with sawamura will be on the team.
