In 1924, Yokohama exploded for the best-ever Japan League record at 118-44, leading the league in runs scored and allowed by a large margin. Yellow Jackets pitcher Seo-Yul Park became the first EAB pitcher with a Triple Crown season, as the 30-year old left was 22-6 with a 1.57 ERA and 294 strikeouts. Four other teams were above .500 in the North Division but couldn’t stack up to Yokohama. Saitama, in a three-way tie for third, had the league MVP in first baseman Ji-Hoo Kim with a 10.8 WAR season.

Defending EAB champ Osaka would finish second in the South Division at 90-72. Kitakyushu would edge them out with their first playoff berth at 93-69. The Kodiaks wouldn’t put up much of a fight In the JLCS though as the Yellow Jackets won in five games for their first Japan League title.

Pyongyang finished with 100+ wins for the fourth straight season, winning the Korean North Division for the second time with a 115-47 mark. The Pythons allowed only 377 runs and had a 11.5 WAR season and Pitcher of the Year from Ching-Wei Kuo of Taiwan. The division was strong again at the top with 100-62 Goyang and 98-64 Hamhung missing out on the postseason. Heat outfielder Sozen Murata won his second straight MVP.

The Korean South Division was a tight fight with four teams within five games of first. Gwangju earned their first playoff berth at 92-70, topped Daegu (90-72), Ulsan (89-73) and defending Korea champ Changwon (87-75). Like in Japan, the League Championship went to the team with the top mark as Pyongang swept the Grays.

In the EAB championship, the home team won each game as the series went seven games. Pyongyang had the home field in an even year, giving the Pythons their second EAB title. Veteran second baseman Tae-Hyeon Park was series MVP, picking up 16 hits and 6 runs over 11 playoff games.

Other notes: Ulsan pitcher Michiro Yabuta set a record with 22 strikeouts iin a complete game against Incheon on 6/2. No one would crack 20 in a game again until 1949. On 9/12, Changwon’s Moon Kim threw the seventh EAB perfect game against Busan.
