The top three teams in the Mexican League in 1948 battled for the North Division title. 1946 league champ Chihuahua took first at 102-60, beating last year’s champ Hermosillo at 100-62 and Mexicali at 95-67. In the South Division, Guadalajara earned its first division title since their 1920s dynasty. The Hellhounds were 87-75, three games better than Leon. Last year’s division winner Mexico City fell to fourth at 71-91.

Mexicali’s Timmy Ramirez won back-to-back MVPs in a record-setting season. The 26-year old first baseman became the new CABA single-season home run king with 61, passing Emmanuel Reyes’ 1939 record of 60. Ramirez was also the Mexican League leader in RBI (127), slugging (.705), OPS (1.081), and wRC+ (240) with a 10.8 WAR. Chihuahua’s Danny Ledo won his second Pitcher of the Year in three seasons. The 28-year old led the league in wins (20), innings (279.2), strikeouts (329), walks (70), quality starts (27), and complete games (15) with a 2.48 ERA and 7.9 WAR.

The Caribbean League Island Division went to Jamaica at 93-69, two games ahead of Haiti and three over defending champ Santiago. For the Jazz, it is their first playoff berth since 1934. In the Continental Division Costa Rica and Panama tied for the top spot at 85-77. The Rays won the one-game playoff over the Parrots to earn back-to-back playoff spots.

Panama’s Alejandro Encinas earned the league MVP. The 32-year old 1B was in his final season with the Parrots before leaving for America. He earned a Triple Crown with a .332 average, 51 home runs, and 147 RBI. The 147 RBI was a new CABA single-season record. He also led the Caribbean in hits (210), runs (114), slugging (.641), OPS (1.006), and wRC+ (177). Guatemala’s Edgar Andunvar won his first Pitcher of the Year in his fourth season. He led in WAR (7.7), quality starts (26), and FIP- (67) with a 2.66 ERA and 250 strikeouts.

In the Mexican League Championship Series, Chihuahua defeated Guadalajara in six games to give the Warriors their second title in three years and fourth overall. The Caribbean League Championship Series was a seven game classic for the third straight year. Costa Rica upset Jamaica for their fourth league title and first since their mid 1930s run. In the CABA Championship, the Rays defeated the Warriors in six games. This is Costa Rica’s second overall title, joining 1935.

Other notes: Santo Domingo’s Felipe Morales joined the legendary Ulices Montero as the only CABA pitchers to 4500 career strikeouts. Juarez’s Jeong-Hyeon Pin became the 10^th to 500 career home runs. Puerto Rico’s Yves Jean became the third CABA player to 1500 RBI.

Haiti’s Alban Angulo won his third straight Reliever of the Year. RF Augustin Gabaldon and LF Markel Calderon both became nine time Gold Glove winners. SS Emmanuel Zavala won his 14^th Silver Slugger, tying Hall of Famer Kiko Velazquez for the most by a CABA player. For the third straight season, there was not a single no-hitter in CABA.
