Ace of the Diamond, Vol. 1

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Haikyu!!, Vol. 1 by Haruichi Furudate.

“Reading this first volume feels like an electric primer on teamwork and underdog drive, delivered in punchy panels and broad comedic beats. Its useful part is brisk visual momentum: quick matches, clear action staging, and character hooks that make you want the next chapter. Limitation: characterization is still schematic and many jokes/peaks trade on shonen conventions, so emotional stakes are thin if you prefer subtlety. Also, the sports detail favors excitement over technical accuracy, which may frustrate readers after an initial thrill.”
