The third World Baseball Championship took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil and would be the final edition under the original format as the field and postseason would expand the next season. The United States would be denied a three-peat as they took second in Division 1. Mexico prevailed at 9-2 for the top spot, one ahead of the Americans and two better than Argentina.

In Division 2, Canada’s bid for a third straight finals appearance was foiled by South Korea. Both nations finished at 9-2, but the Koreans had the tiebreaker having beaten the Canadians in their meeting. Colombia was third in the division at 8-3 with Brazil at 7-4. Canada officially got the third place medal overall with the US fourth.

The championship series ultimately wasn’t competitive as Mexico swept South Korea for their first world championship. Mexico’s Prometheo Garcia was the event MVP as the Guadalajara 1B had 20 hits, 17 runs, 9 home runs, and 1.4 WAR over 15 games. Colombia’s Fernando Guitard was named the Best Pitcher. He had made his Beisbol Sudamerica debut with Bogota only last season with the 24-year old in two starts throwing two complete games with only three hits and two runs allowed.
