After a four year gap between playoff appearances, Mexico City had the Mexican League's best record at 109-53. This allowed them to outrace a solid 101-61 effort by Leon for the South Division title, while back-to-back league champ Ecatepec dropped to third at 88-74. In the North Division, Hermosillo claimed back-to-back division titles, the best in a fairly weak field at 89-73.

Chihuahua RF Samuel Sousa picked up the MVP. He led the Mexican League with a career season in home runs (51), RBI (111), slugging (.622), OPS (.976), and WAR (53.1). Tijuana veteran Samuel Valadez picked up his second Pitcher of the Year, five years after his first. The 37-year old Cuban had the league lead in ERA (1.63) and complete games (14), adding 7.3 WAR and 211 strikeouts.

Puerto Rico continued its dominance in the Caribbean League, taking a fifth straight Island Division title with the league-best 103-59 record. Costa Rica secured a weak Continental Division for their first playoff appearance since winning the league in 1936. The Rays at 86-76 were three games better than Panama. Defending division champ Salvador fell hard, the worst team in the league at 64-98.

Costa Rica RF Alvaro Fulgensio picked up the MVP in the 29-year old’s final CABA season, as he left for MLB the next season. Fulgensio led the Caribbean League in hits (202), average (.347), slugging (.407), and OPS (.986). Puerto Rico’s Roy Facey picked up Pitcher of the Year despite the 31-year old lefty missing a month. He still led the Caribbean in wins (22) and ERA (2.17).

In the MLCS, Mexico City downed Hermosillo in six games, giving the Aztecs their fifth Mexican League title and first since 1940. The CLCS saw Puerto Rico prevail in six games against Costa Rica, giving the Pelicans three straight Caribbean titles and four in five seasons. They joined Havana (1911-13) as the only teams to win three straight Carribean crowns. Puerto Rico now has eight total, tying Honduras for the most. The CABA Championship went seven games with the home team winning each time. For Puerto Rico, that meant they were the runner-up for the third time in their five-year run. Mexico CIty became a four-time overall champ with their first since 1936. The Aztecs tie Ecatepec and Tijuana for most overall CABA titles.

Other notes: On July 15, Salvador's Pedro Castro threw CABA's 16th perfect game against Panama, striking out 13. Crossing 200 career wins were Napler Pedro and Samuel Valadez. Jeong-Hyeon Pin crossed 400 home runs and 1000 RBI. Crossing 2000 hits were Emmanuel Zavala and Emmanuel Reyes. Jamaica shortstop Thomas Rheault won his Caribbean League record 11^th Gold Glove. Leon SS Emmanuel Zavala grabbed an 11^th Silver Slugger.
