Defending Bolivar League champ Quito made it back-to-back South Division titles, as the Thunderbolts easily had the top mark in the league at 108-54. They allowed 418 runs, 74 fewer than second best La Paz; their top competitor in the division at 93-69. Caracas claimed the North Division again with an 87-75 record, beating Bogota by four games and Medellin by seven. This extends the Colts’ division title streak to six seasons and would ultimately be the final one of the run.

Javier Herrera won back-to-back MVP’s for Quito. The 26-year old Ecuadoran first baseman was the league leader in hits (192), doubles (34), walks (70), stolen bases (113), triple slash (.345/.416/.560), OPS (.976), and WAR (7.9). The 113 steals was tied for third for the most in a single Beisbol Sudamerica season. Guayaquil’s Laurenco Cedillo won his fourth Pitcher of the Year. The 29-year old Chilean was the WARlord at 10.8 and led in WHIP (0.80), FIP- (49), and K/BB (10.6). He had a 17-9 record, 1.62 ERA over 266.2 innings and 298 strikeouts.

The top two records in the Southern Cone League belonged to Santiago and Buenos Aires, who battled to the bitter end for the South Division title. The defending Copa Sudamerica champion Atlantics and the Saints both finished the regular season at 102-60. In a one-game playoff, Santiago won, giving them six playoff berths in eight seasons. This also marked the start of sustained dominance for the Saints atop the division for the next decade. Over in the Brazil Division, it was a three-team fight between Fortaleza, Brasilia, and Salvador. The Foxes finished first at 91-71, three ahead of the Bearcats and four over the Storm. This snapped a 23 season playoff drought for Fortaleza and was only their fourth playoff berth overall (1940, 1933, 1932).

Buenos Aires two-way player Lewis Miranda won MVP in the Southern Cone. The 25-year old Argentine was the pitching wins leader with a 20-9 record, adding a 2.58 ERA, 274 strikeouts in 265 innings, and 8.3 WAR. Offensively at first base, Miranda added 3.6 WAR with 136 hits, 68 runs, and 27 home runs. Corboda’s Will Feliciano won his second Pitcher of the Year in three seasons. The 27-year old righty was the WARlord at 8.5 and leader with 18 complete games. He added a 1.84 ERA over 283.1 innings with 306 strikeouts.

The Bolivar League Championship Series rematch went again to Quito, defeating Caracas in five games. The Southern Cone Championship saw Santiago prevail 4-1 over Fortaleza, giving the Saints five league titles (1961, 36, 34, 33).

In Copa Sudamerica, Santiago defeated Quito in six games, giving the Saints the Cup for the second time in four years and third time overall. The Thunderbolts are the runner-up for back-to-back seasons. Series MVP was CF Josias Chavez. In 11 postseason games, he had 15 hits, 7 runs, 4 triples, and 5 RBI.

Other notes: Belo Horizonte’s Pedro Spaziani threw a perfect game against Buenos Aires, striking out 11. Argel Souza and Ricardo Blanco both crossed 3500 career strikeouts. LF Ishmael Perla won his 11^th Silver Slugger.
