Juarez won back-to-back Mexican League North titles as the Jesters finished 99-63, 13 up on second place Monterrey. Defending league champ Ecatepec survived two major challenges to take the South. The Explosion finished 93-69, one game better than both Mexico City and Puebla, giving them a fourth straight division title.

Aztecs outfielder Kiko Velazquez won his third MVP in four years, earning back-to-back Triple Crowns. Kiko lead the league in WAR (11.4), triple slash (.348/.397/.688), wRC+ (232), runs (117), hits (209), homers (49), and RBI (122). Tijuana had the Pitcher of the Year in 24-year old Jhon Maestas, who led in WHIP (0.83), wins (20) and quality starts (31/33) with a 1.76 ERA.

The Jesters gave the Explosion a solid challenge, but Ecatepec prevailed in six games in the Mexican League Championship Series. The dynasty continues with their third league title in four seasons.

Jamaica won a third-straight Caribbean Island Division title, taking it at 104-58 with an eight game advantage over Santiago. Costa Rica cruised to the Continental title at 100-62, joining the 1929 season as their only playoff berths. Defending Caribbean champ Salvador had a terrible season, going 69-93.

Although Haiti again finished below .500, third baseman Jonny Lucero picked up his fifth MVP, a Caribbean record. Still only 29 years old, the Puerto Rican switch hitter was the leader in runs (94), homers (45), RBI (125), OPS (.982), and WAR (9.6). Panama also stunk, but produced the Pitcher of the Year in Ernesto Urbina, who led the league in ERA at 2.15.

The Rays claimed the CLCS over the Jazz in five games, giving Costa Rica their first-ever Caribbean League title. The Rays took Ecatepec to the limit, but the Explosion won the CABA Championship in seven games. Ecatepec’s dynasty now has three overall titles in four years. Only them and Tijuana have won three or more CABA titles (the Toros have won it four times, 13, 14, 18, 19)

Other notes: Two perfect games happened in the spring of 1932. Yusdel Ximenez of Hermosillo did it on April 27 against Chihuahua and Natalio Castro of Nicaragua did it against Costa Rica on May 18. Both players struck out seven in their perfectos. Elsewhere, Monterrey’s Max Longoria became the fourth CABA batter to 2500 career hits.
