The first season for Beisbol Sudamerica saw Medellin as the dominant team in Liga Bolivar. The Mutiny won the North Division at 117-45, 26 games better than second place Maracaibo. The South Division was a two-team battle with Callao pulling away down the stretch, taking it at 90-72, three better than the Cyclones.

The first MVP was Manuel Pinedo of Medellin. A 30-year old Salvadoran first baseman, he socked 62 home runs and 132 RBI. The 62 homers would hold not again be reached until 1946 and not passed until 1973. Cali’s Virisimo Ibarra was the first Pitcher of the Year. The 28-year old Ecuadoran led in WAR (11.1), wins (28), ERA (1.60), innings pitched (303.2), quality starts (30) and shutouts (11). The 11 shutouts and 28 wins would hold as single-season records even a century later.

In Liga Cono Sur, Brasilia won the Brazil Division at 101-61. Rosario took the South Division at 111-51, holding off Montevideo at 103-59. Santiago’s Vadao Becker was the first MVP, as the Brazilian infielder hit 56 home runs. 32-year old Wagner Santos led in ERA and WHIP, earning the Pitcher of the Year.

The first Beisbol Sudamerica postseason was incredibly anticlimactic. Medellin swept Callao for the Bolivar title and Rosario swept Brasilia for the Southern Cone crown. In the first Copa Sudamerica, the Munity swept the Robins, giving the first BSA title to a Colombian team.

Other notes: The first BSA perfect game came from Santiago’s Joaquin Lara, who struck out 11 against Cordoba on April 27.
