Both shows have similar vibes, they both have a gloomy kid who gets invited to join the sport team that is weak. and have other similarities, one is about baseball and the other is about soft tennis though.

Battery and Stars Align are coming-of-age character dramas that use their respective sports as a backdrop for their stories. Both are single-cour and deal with middle school boys and their family issues. They also use a somewhat muted color-palette to set the mood and aesthetic as well as the soundtracks that are above average. Give Battery a try if Stars Align really caught your interest.

Hoshiai no Sora is what Battery could have been if they had been braver with the themes they were trying to convey. They are both middle school sports anime that tackle darker issues that many mainstream shows of the same genre lack.
