After winning only 67 games the prior year, Hermosillo bounced back for their third Mexican League North Division title in four seasons. The Hyenas took first at 93-69, six games ahead of Mexicali and nine ahead of defending league champ Chihuahua. Mexico City secured the South Division at 98-64, eight games better than Guadalajara. Defending division champ Merida tied for third at 80-82 with Leon.

Mexicali 1B Timmy Ramirez won his first MVP at age 25. Ramirez led Mexico in home runs (47), slugging (.644), OPS (1.000), and wRC+ (214). Puebla’s Kraig Berton secured Pitcher of the Year with the league lead in ERA (2.01) and WHIP (0.82).

Santiago won their first Caribbean Island Division title since 1935 with a 98-64 season. They were two games better than Havana and seven up on Puerto Rico, snapping the Pelicans playoff streak at six seasons. The Continental Division went to Costa Rica at 86-76 for their second berth in three seasons. The Rays were four games ahead of defending CABA champ Panama at 82-80.

Puerto Rico RF Pasqualino Yanez won his third Caribbean League MVP. It was the final CABA season for the 35-year old Yanez, who would leave for the MLB and Dallas next season. Yanez didn’t lead the league in any stats, but posted 43 home runs, 102 RBI, and 6.5 WAR. He also secured his ninth Silver Slugger and crossed 500 career home runs. Costa Rica’s Gabriel Ibarra had a career year for Pitcher of the Year, posting a league best 24 wins and 2.22 ERA, adding 5.9 WAR and 244 strikeouts.

The Mexican League Championship Series saw Hermosillo defeat Mexico City in six games, giving the Hyenas their third league title and first since 1933. The Caribbean League Championship Series was a seven game classic claimed by Santiago over Costa Rica. This was the fourth title for the Sailfish and first since 1923. The CABA Championship went seven games with Hermosillo defeating Santiago for their first-ever CABA title.

Other notes: Se-Hyeon Kim of Havana had a 30-game hit streak, only the second CABA player to get to 30+. The record is 38 in 1911 by Ivan Iniguez. Lanny Lujan became the ninth to 500 home runs. Yves Jean and Ray Reyes became the seventh and eighth hitters to 2500 hits. Felix Hernandez and Jeron Evans both crossed 3500 strikeouts. Shortstop Thomas Rheault became the first 13-time Gold Glove winner. SS Emmanuel Zavala won his 13^th Silver Slugger, second only to Kiko Velazquez’s 14.
