Taipei set a franchise record at 110-52, repeating as Taiwan League champs and taking the top seed for the Taiwan-Philippine Association. The Tigercats still had to fend off a tough Kaohsiung squad at 101-61. The Steelheads became the sixth team in APB history to miss the playoffs despite 100+ wins.

Defending Austronesia champion Davao secured the Philippine League for the sixth consecutive season with a 107-55 record. Cebu was a distant second at 92-70. The Devil Rays tied 1965-70 Manila for the longest playoff streak in APB history. Davao finished with 100+ wins for the fifth time in their run.

For the third time in four years, Taipei designated hitter Ching-Hui Lin won TPA MVP. The 26-year old Taiwanese lefty led in runs (107), home runs (52), RBI (109), total bases (383), OBP (.366), slugging (.632), OPS (.998), wRC+ (227), and WAR (10.4). His .315 batting average was second to Junior Sanchez’s .329. Prior to the 2010 season, the Tigercats gave Lin a massive eight year, $98,400,000 extension.

Davao’s Bima Idris won his second Pitcher of the Year, having previously earned it in 2007. The 31-year old Indonesian lefty led in wins (20-5), ERA (1.17), WHIP (0.66), and shutouts (8). Among the shutouts was a no-hitter with 9 Ks and 2 walks against Hsinchu on April 26. Idris also had 311 strikeouts over 230.2 innings for a 227 ERA+ and 8.9 WAR. The Devil Rays gave him a five-year, $58,000,000 extension prior to the 2010 campaign.

Surabaya’s Java Sea League title streak grew to five seasons. The Sunbirds at 103-59 had the Sundaland Association’s best record, besting Depok by 10 games. Surabaya led in both runs scored (577) and fewest allowed (411). Medan edged two-time defending champ Singapore in a tight Malacca League race. The Marlins took it at 92-70, one game better than the 91-71 Sharks. That ended a three-year playoff drought for Medan.

Surabaya’s Aluii Nguyen won Sundaland Association MVP for the second time in three years. The 26-year old Cambodian first baseman led in runs (100), home runs (47), slugging (.610), OPS (1.004), and wRC+ (223). Nguyen added 10.0 WAR, 96 RBI, and a .299 average. He beat out Singapore’s Wil Tabaldo for the award despite Tabaldo being four homers short of a Triple Crown with 43 homers, 98 RBI, a.314 average, and 9.0 WAR.

The Sunbirds also had Pitcher of the Year Rahmat Hasjim. The 27-year old Indonesian righty led in wins (19-8), ERA (1.65), WHIP (0.75), K/BB (13.7), and shutouts (8). Among the shutouts was APB’s 33^rd Perfect Game on July 30, striking out eight against Batam. Hasjim had 260 strikeouts over 245.2 innings with a 153 ERA+ and 5.8 WAR.

Davao won the Taiwan-Philippine Association Championship rematch with Taipei 4-2, giving the Devil Rays repeat titles and their fifth in nine years. Davao became seven-time TPA champs with the win. Surabaya was denied for the third consecutive season in the Sundaland Association Championship, suffering a 4-1 upset loss to Medan. It was the Marlins’ first pennant since 2000 and their eighth overall.

In the 46^th Austronesia Championship, Davao outlasted Medan in a seven game classic to repeat again as APB champs. 32-year old Junior Sanchez won finals MVP in his 14^th year with the Devil Rays. In 13 playoff starts, he had 19 hits, 8 runs, 4 doubles, 1 triple, and 10 stolen bases.

Davao won its fifth title overall (1995, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010) and became the second-ever APB team to win four rings in six years. Only Kaohsiung matched that feat with their four in five years from 1973-77. This Devil Rays run has a strong case as the top dynasty in APB history.

Other notes: The 34^th APB Perfect Game came from Surabaya’s Dyan Wetete with 14 strikeouts against Johor Bahru on September 2. Along with Rahmat Hasjim’s perfecto, APB had back-to-back seasons with two perfect games thrown.

Dedi Dewi became the sixth pitcher to 5000 career strikeouts, a mark no others have reached as of 2037. He finished his age 35 season with 5275 Ks, 90 away from Vhon Lasam’s all-time record of 5365. Dewi and Eddie Abundez became the 15^th and 16^th pitchers to reach 200 career wins. Finals MVP Junior Sanchez became the sixth to reach 2500 career hits. Sanchez and Hector Constanza both scored their 1000^th run, a mark now reached by 16 players in the low-scoring APB.

2B Dimas Sunarto won his seventh Gold Glove. Paolo Baptista won his tenth Silver Slugger and his first in left field. He won in right field in 2009 and had his other eight previous Sluggers in center. SS Chi-Chao Shih won his ninth Silver Slugger.
