Mexicali made it six straight Mexican League North Division titles in 1954 with the defending CABA champs winning it at 95-67. They had the best record in a competitive league, beating out Monterrey (93-69) by two in the division race. The South Division race saw Mexico City first at 90-72, two ahead of Ecatepec and six over Guadalajara. Defending division champ Puebla dropped to 80 wins in fourth. For the Aztecs, it is their first division title since 1947.

Hellhounds slugger Prometheo Garcia won his fourth league MVP and earned his third career Triple Crown. The 31-year old 1B led Mexico in hits (216), home runs (44), RBI (117), average (.350), OBP (.399), slugging (.625), OPS (1.023), and WAR (9.8). Garcia also crossed 2000 career hits and 400 home runs; impressive milestones for someone just entering his 30s. 29-year old Merida lefty Miguel Martinez won Pitcher of the Year. Martinez had a 15-7 record, 1.90 ERA over 270 innings with 270 strikeouts and 30 quality starts for 6.4 WAR.

The top two in the Caribbean League were clear in 1954. Defending champ Honduras had the best overall record and won back-to-back Continental Divisions at 109-53. After missing the Island Division title by a game last season, Santiago rolled to it at 107-55 in 1954. The Sailfish now have three playoff appearances in four years, having won the overall CABA crown in 1951 and 1952.

Caribbean MVP went to Santo Domingo LF Grant Duncan. The 26-year old Jamaican was five average points short of a Triple Crown season. Duncan led the league with 121 runs, 51 home runs, 118 RBI, a 387 OPS, .683 slugging, 1.070 OPS, 203 wRC+ and 10.7 WAR. Honduras 29-year old righty Mario Guerrero won the Pitcher of the Year, posting a 26-3 record with a league-best 1.86 ERA. He also had 6.1 WAR and 266 strikeouts. Also notably, Jamaica’s Yimi Armenta became a three-time Reliever of the Year winner, posting 32 saves and a 1.87 ERA for 2.9 WAR. He also crossed 300 career saves.

The Mexican League Championship Series went seven games for the third straight season. Mexicali made it a five-peat, winning the league title yet again and continuing the dynasty by besting Mexico City. The Maroons would be the first CABA franchise to win five consecutive league titles. In the Caribbean League Championship Series, Santiago won for the third time in four years. The Sailfish bested defending champ Honduras 4-2. In the CABA Championship, Mexicali topped Santiago in five games to give the Maroons their second overall CABA crown. This would mark the end of the Mexicali dynasty and the Maroons wouldn’t win another league title in the 20^th Century.

Other notes: Salvador Islas became a 10-time Gold Glove winner at first base, a record for the position. Honduras’s Gavino Zaldana became the ninth CABA pitcher with a 20 strikeout game and the first to do it since 1923.
