Uh, is quite simple actually:
- One Outs and Giant Killing are quite similar because first of all they are both seinen with a main focus on the sports genre.
- moreover, both deal with a professional sports: not the usual sports played by teenagers as you usually see in anime the most of times.
- having adult characters overall both of the series, they also have a different way to tell the story, making it quite interesting as they both show you sides of the professional sports that you rarely see in anime.
- still, both main characters give to their serie an overall quite strong psychological theme,

Both are about sport and the main characters are very similar. The plot is pretty similar too, although Tatsumi (Giant Killing) is not actually playing on the field.
Both anime show the strategic approach towards sports. However One outs is all about strategy while Giant Killing is a mix of all aspects of the sport.
both animes consider a psychological side beside the sports main side.
great stories and similar attractive characters.

Giant Killing is like One Outs, because, both of them tell the story of very inteligent and presumptuous, and devilish men. And .. both of them are about of sports.
Anime about sports of masses
Both main characters are kind of genius in their respective sport, even though Tatsumi is not as "agressive" as Tokuchi could be.
Both main characters also greatly enjoy defeating their opponent xD
Both anime don’t consider sports only, but great part of psychology.
Tatsumi has another goal than Toua, his intrigues don’t suit his own ends only, but the means used by main characters are very similar.
Both series deal with professional sport. Professional sport dealing with a long season schedule, not knockout system. There is no win or die situation in every match like what you find in most sport animes. In other words, there is no easily predictable story like in most sport animes.
Besides that, both main character have a great strategies and tactics to win a sport games. Although One Outs is a little unrealistic, but still fun to watch..
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.
In both shows. the main guy enter an declining team. In one outs(baseball) as a pitcher, and in Giant killing(Soccer) as a coach. They turn the team around and make them good again/or carry the team.
They are both about sport and about a person that can drag the team to victory by coahing or playing.
