If you liked Diamond no Ace add

...then you might like Haikyuu!! add

Both of these series do an excellent job in keeping every episode interesting, while managing to keep the sports aspect very realistic. The character growth is consistent, the story progress is sensible, and the skill improvement is logical and practical. The large cast of supporting teams and characters are also given importance and properly developed. The two series differ in general atmosphere-- Haikyuu!! is more vibrant and lively, so it's an easy watch even for sports anime newbies; on the other hand, Diamond no Ace is a lot more laid-back and leisurely, and is probably more suitable for those wanting to dip further into the sports genre.

If you liked One Outs add

...then you might like Giant Killing add

The atmosphere and tones in both anime are similar-- focusing less on happiness and teamwork and passion, but more on the realities of professional athletes. This isn't about high school kids so there is a broader view of the different parties involved such as management and fans. Granted, Giant Killing is a lot more laid back compared to One Outs where the psychological game is pretty strong.
