Bogota claimed a third straight Bolivar League North Division title in 1951, finishing at 91-71. The Bats beat Valencia (89-73) by two games. Meanwhile, the best record in the league went to South Division champ Cali. The three-time defending Bolivar League champ won their fifth straight division with a 98-64 record, eight games better than second place Quito.

The MVP and Pitcher of the Year both went to Bogota. Bats 3B Pedro Quintana won his second straight MVP, leading the league in hits (220) and batting average (.346), adding 41 doubles, 15 triples, and 6.4 WAR. Alonzo Guzman won his second PotY in three years as the 33-year old led in wins (22) and ERA (1.53) with 296 strikeouts, 33 quality starts, and 8.0 WAR.

Brasilia won a weak Brazil Division for their first playoff berth since their 1938 Copa Sudamerica season. The Bearcats finished 86-76, beating defending BSA champ Belo Horizonte by two games. Cordoba at 101-61 won their second straight South Division and had the best overall record in Beisbol Sudamerica.

The Chanticleers boasted the MVP and Pitcher of the Year in 1951. 28-year old LF Placido Guerrero had the MVP on 48 home runs, 108 RBI, .949 OPS, 198 wRC+, and 8.1 WAR. 27-year old Nono Louceiro was the PotY on 8.3 WAR, a 1.87 ERA, 19-7 record, and 296 strikeouts over 264.1 innings.

The 1951 Bolivar League Championship Series was the third straight between Bogota and Cali. For the first time, the Bats prevailed by sweeping the Cyclones, denying a Cali four-peat. This also gave Bogota its first-ever league title. Cordoba won its first-ever Southern Cone Championship Series by beating Brasilia in five games. In a novel Copa Sudamerica, the Chanticleers clobbered the Bats in five games, bringing the title back to Argentina for the first time since Buenos Aires’ 1945 title.

Other notes: Quito’s Carlos Vargas had a 30-game hitting streak, tying the BSA single-season record. Matias Amaro and Diego Pena became the first BSA batters to reach 500 career home runs. Leonardo Velasco became the second to 2500 career hits. Evan Yho became the second pitcher to 5000 career strikeouts, while Tilson Garcia and Hernan Alatorre became the fourth and fifth to 4500 Ks. Jonathan Iglesias became the first (and as of 2036, the only) reliever to 500 career saves.

Cordoba shortstop Jamie Escoto became an 11-time Gold Glove winner, while LF Carlos Matamoros became a nine-time winner. Escoto joins RF Martin Arriaga as the only 11-time winners. SS Diego Pena won his record 13^th Silver Slugger.
