Ecatepec defended their South Division title successfully for the fifth straight season, finishing 96-66 with a five-game advantage on Puebla. In the North, Hermosillo beat out Monterrey by one game, denying the Matadors their first playoff berth. For the Hyenas, it was their third division win in six years.

Mexico City’s Kiko Velazquez won his fourth MVP and third straight, leading in runs (111), WAR (10.2) and OPS (1.069). In five full seasons, he had already compiled nearly 50 WAR. Puebla’s Martin Campos won his second Pitcher of the Year as the WARlord at 8.7 and a 55 FIP-

In the Mexican League Championship Series, Hermosillo beat Ecatepec in five, getting the Hyenas their second league title in four years. It ended Ecatepec’s bid for a three-peat and although they wouldn’t fall to the bottom, it would be the last time in the 1930s that the Explosion were in the postseason.

Jamaica absolutely dominated the Caribbean League, winning their fourth straight division title with a new CABA record at 118 wins. The Continental Division saw Guatemala get only their second-ever playoff berth, winning a weak field at 83-79. Defending champ Costa Rica finished three behind at 80-82.

Unsurprisingly, the Jazz’s success landed them the major awards. First baseman Kenol Alexis was the MVP, leading in hits (187), homers (42), RBI (137), and WAR (8.0). The Pitcher of the Year was Ji-Un Jo, a Korean amateur they had signed. The 22-year old posted 8.3 of his 13.2 career WAR in the 1933 season, as a torn rotator cuff soon after pushed him out of baseball.

Guatemala gave Jamaica a run for their money despite the 35 wins that separated them in the standings. However, the Jazz were able to take the Caribbean League Championship Series in seven, their second league title in four years. Hermosillo gave them no such trouble in the CABA championship, Jamaica swept for their second CABA title.

With an overall title and record-setting 118-44 mark, the 1933 Jamaica Jazz provide a compelling case for the greatest team in CABA history to that point. The win total would only be matched once in the 20^th Century and not finally surpassed until 2024.

Other notes: Monterrey’s Jhon Diaz became the seventh pitcher to 200 career wins. Mexico City’s Jose Angel Islas became the fourth hitter to 2500 career hits.
