Why it is worth watching
I'd recommend it because of how satisfying it is to see Eiichiro improve at tennis by taking notes, measuring patterns and correcting each mistake.
Based on the original manga by Hikaru Katsuki, Baby Steps centers on a honor student named Eiichiro Maruo who becomes frustrated with his life and decides to join the tennis club. Despite lacking experience and physical strength, he utilizes his stud…ious nature to develop a strategic approach to playing tennis. Taking notes of his opponents’ habits and tendencies, he is able to predict their next move before they even react. He also meets Natsu Takasaki, a beautiful girl with a passion for tennis. With her help, he aims to become a professional tennis player.

It's a good fit if you're looking for realistic sport, training and progression without magical techniques.
What sets it apart from sports anime led by a prodigy is that Eiichiro starts without experience or extraordinary physique; his obsessive notes gradually become a unique way of reading each game.
