Kawasaki in 1940 won its third straight Japan League North Division, going 94-68 to finish eight games better than Yokoahama. Japan's best record overall was the South Division champ Nagoya at 109-53, getting their first playoff spot since taking the 1937 league title. Last year's East Asia Champ Hiroshima fell off hard to a 76-win season and wouldn't make the playoffs again until 1959.

Nagoya shortstop Si-U Gim won his third MVP award at only age 25. He led in WAR again with 12.0 while adding 46 home runs, 93 RBI, and 171 hits. Kobe’s Drew St. Louis won his third Pitcher of the Year, the Trinidadian still only 26 years old. He led in strikeouts (360) for the fourth straight season and in WAR (9.3) for the third straight season.

Two-time Defending Korea League champ Busan earned a third-straight south division title at 98-64, eight ahead of Changwon. Seongnam won the North Division at 99-63 for the franchise's first playoff berth in its 20-year history. Last year's division champ Goyang was a distant second at 84 wins.

Goyang LF Byung-Oh Tan won back-to-back league MVPs with the league lead in hits (208), average (.354) and WAR (9.3). Busan’s Yu-Geon Moon became a five-time Pitcher of the Year as he achieved the fifth EAB Triple Crown and the first since 1927. Moon had a 23-5 record, 1.90 ERA, and 330 strikeouts with 28 quality starts and a career-best 9.2 WAR.

The JLCS was a seven game classic with Nagoya edging Kawasaki, making the Nightowls the first four-time Japan League champ (31, 34, 37, 40). Busan made it a three-peat in the KLCS with a six-game series victory against Seongnam. The Blue Jays now hold five Korean titles, leading all teams. In the East Asian Championship, Nagoya swept Busan to give the Nightowls a third overall title. They are the first franchise to win the EAB final three times.

Other notes: Pyongyang's Joon-Kyu Cho became the fourth EAB pitcher to 3500 career strikeouts. Hiroshima's Seung-Mo Kim and Seoul's Seong-Yeon Lee joined the 3000 strikeout club. Hualyu Lu made it to 400 home runs for Hiroshima. The 6th, 7th, and 8th members of the 2000 hit club were Sung-Man Hyon (Busan), Yerong-Chae Sim (Yongin) and Shosuke Hirai (Sapporo).
