Both are very similar in style and theme. Smash is about badminton, while Baby Steps is about tennis. Both leads are new to the sport but display immeasurable talent and growth with each match.
They focus not only on the sport being played but also on the relationships between each character. New friends are made as the story progresses as well as rivals. Most importantly, the romance aspect is heavily focused on and enhance the story's enjoyment to any shounen lover.

To begin with, Smash! has the same enjoyable mixture of sports and romance. Although Smash! lacks the in-depth description of sports in Baby Steps I think it kinda makes up for it in the romance sector. They also share the same feel of suspense in the competitive arena. To sum it up after Baby Steps, Smash! is the way to go in the sports/romance sector.
