Two-time defending Mexican League champ Monterrey won the North Division for the third straight season and had the best record in the league at 99-63. Mexicali at 88-74 was a distant second. Guadalajara also made it a three-year division title repeat, taking the South Division at 91-71. Ecatepec at 84-78 and Mexico City at 83-79 were the closest competition.

Aztecs CF Emmanuel Lopez won his third league MVP and back-to-back. In 1957, Lopez was the league leader in runs (117), hits (215), stolen bases (71), average (.359), OBP (.425), OPS (1.004), wRC+ (195), and WAR (10.2). Pitcher of the Year went to 33-year old Jesus Montiel of Monterrey. His only league-leading stat was WIHP (0.96), taking the title in a weak field on a 17-8 record, 2.56 ERA, and 5.4 WAR with 233 strikeouts in 235.1 innings.

The three best records in the Caribbean League were all in the Island Division with an intense battle throughout the season. Santo Domingo and defending CABA champ Puerto Rico tied for first at 99-63 with Havana one game behind. In the one-game playoff, the Dolphins dropped the Pelicans, snapping a three decade postseason drought for the Dominican capital. The Continental Division saw Costa Rica on top at 91-71 for back-to-back division titles.

Santo Domingo LF Grant Duncan won his third MVP in four seasons. The 29-year old Jamaican had the league lead in runs (119), home runs (57), RBI (128), slugging (.758), OPS (1.157), wRC+ (201), and WAR (9.5). The slugging mark was a new CABA single-season record and the OPS mark was the third-best single season. Pitcher of the Year was Costa Rica’s Marc Cedillo. The fourth-year righty from Bogota led in complete games (16) and shutouts (5), posting a 20-12 record, 2.82 ERA, 271 innings, 244 strikeouts, and 7.2 WAR.

It was the third straight Mexican League Championship Series between Monterrey and Guadalajara and just like the prior two, it was the Matadors prevailing. Monterrey took it this time 4-2 for the sixth league title in franchise history. In the Caribbean League Championship Series, Santo Domingo defeated Costa Rica in six to give the Dolphins their fourth league title and first since 1927. The CABA Championship went to Monterrey 4-2 to give the Matadors their second overall title in three years and third overall.

Other notes: Rodger Hunter became the 14^th CABA player to reach 500 career home runs. CF Linus Williams became a 10 time Gold Glove winner, the first CABA player to get 10 at his position and seventh to get 10 at any spot. Guadalajara slugger Prometheo Garcia became a nine time Silver Slugger winner at 1B and LF Julio Hinojosa won his eighth.
