I was watching the movie Mr. Baseball the other day. Several times during the movie they talk about しゅうと
which they describe as "the great equalizer". (Could possibly be しゅうとう
, but their dialog does not sound like they're elongating the last syllable).
I've tried very unsuccessfully in finding this word in any of my multiple dictionaries. Is this a common, known Japanese word? Is it some kind of 野球用語
? Is it just 外来語
of "shoot", or some word from another language? If it's Japanese, does it have associated kanji?
