The main male leads remind me of each other in the way they hold themselves. Although the main character in the one does have the ability to express feelings. The settings and the plot stay professional throughout. The leads are also very smart and every move in the plot makes sense for each character.
It might seem like a stretch but one of the best things about Hot Stove League is the scripts use of metaphors and symbolism that can be applied to our daily life. Now do bare in mind that Hot Stove League is not a melo-series. But I did see some parallels. Also add to both of these dramas focus on leadership, office politics, corruption, trust, grief and personal responsibilities.
Both dramas are in the sports genre.
Both dramas focus on sports, discovering the confidence in their skills, learning about team play, fighting for their dreams and success.
"|Hot Stove League" also showcases the management of a team and the work that goes on behind the scene, not only in competitions, but both dramas touch on character dynamics and relationships that help the characters grow (lessons).

In HSL the ML manages his first pro baseball team. In OR the ML is a pro football player who is forced to retire. He then joins the management side as a Rookie sports agent. Both are based on sports.
The comradery between the colleagues at the office is quite similar.
Both ML have very supportive families.
Differences:
HSL is based on baseball, OR explores multiple sports.
HSL focuses on the business side. OR is a lighter drama and shows the lives of the athletes.

On the verge of insanity is a business drama, which shows office politics as well as other business areas like acquisitions, team projects, closing of business, human resource department etc. as well as technology perfectly. Hot stove league also focuses on business part well with baseball. The characters are very well developed and consistent in both of them and they have very little to no romance. They are well made I love them both.
Stove League te puede gustar, ya que en este drama el protagonista usara todo tipo de estrategia deportiva, para levantar un equipo de béisbol que esta a punto de cerrar, sus estrategias son complicadas y muchas veces criticadas por los demás, pero cada una de ellas son las que llevara al equipo a la victoria.
Cuando vi a Queen Marker y todas las estrategias políticas utilizadas, se me hizo muy parecida a Stove League.

I am going to go out on a limb here but these dramas both involving sports and are about building teams. They revolve around unfortunate circumstances and how the MLs overcome them with strong FLs.
Although the former is more gaming based the later involves more family, friendship, and work drama along with strong sports lingo in both (obviously specializing in ESports or Baseball)
I would give it a try !
