1920 in CABA

Guadalajara for the second straight year had the best record in CABA at 107-55. The Hellhounds led the Mexican League in runs scored and fewest allowed, getting the league MVP from 24-year old outfielder Victor Valenzuela with 11.8 WAR, 200 hits, and 99 runs. He earned the rare feat of winning MVP, Gold Glove, and Silver Slugger.


Meanwhile in the North Division, Tijuana fell off with a fourth place 83-79 mark. Chihuahua for the first time at 92-70, one better than Hermosillo at 91-71. Last place Juarez saw Nick Bermea get his fourth Pitcher of the Year. In the LCS, Guadalajara swept the Warriors for their first Mexican League title.


Defending Caribbean champ Honduras won the Continental Division for the second straight year, finishing 90-72. The big numbers again came from the Island Division as Santiago outlasted Jamaica. The Sailfish took first at 106-56, two better than the 104-58 Jazz. Haiti was 94-68 and last year’s division winner Santo Domingo dropped to 82-80.


Santiago ace Ulices Montero won his fourth Pitcher of the Year and also became the first pitcher to get the MVP. In his age 28 season, Montero had a Triple Crown year at 24-5, a career best 1.37 ERA, and 424 strikeouts. He also set CABA records for WHIP (0.66) and opponent OBP (.184).


Despite leading the Caribbean League in runs and runs allowed, the Sailfish would fall in five games to the Horsemen, sending Honduras to back-to-back Caribbean titles. But the Horsemen were no match for Guadalajara as the Hellhounds won their first CABA championship in a sweep. First baseman Aneurys Perez was series MVP, hitting a 335 OPS+ in the postseason.
