The 1970 season marked the 50^th year for East Asia Baseball, joining MLB and CABA at having reached the mark. Here’s a look at how teams have fared:

The Japan League has had a fair bit of parity with the worst average for wins per season was only 77.3, belonging to Fukuoka. Nagoya had the most wins at 86.7 per season, but Sapporo had them beat for playoff appearances (15 versus 12). The Swordfish also have the most finals berths by a good margin at 10 with the Nightowls next at six. Still, Sapporo, Nagoya, and Hiroshima are each tied for the most overall titles at four apiece. Only Kyoto hasn’t made the finals at least once, although both Fukuoka and Tokyo have one fewer playoff appearance and lower win tallies.

The Korea League has been more top heavy, especially in the North Division with the dynasty runs of both Pyongyang and Hamhung. The Pythons have averaged an impressive 94.0 wins per season with the Heat at 91.9, both the best in EAB by far. They are tied for the lead in playoff berths at 17. Pyongyang has the most overall titles at eight and finals appearances at 11. Hamhung and Busan both have eight finals berths. Daejeon, Seongnam and Goyang are the three Korean teams without a finals appearance and the Ducks have the fewest wins in all of EAB at 75.0. Daejeon, Seongnam, and Incheon have the fewest playoff appearances of any EAB team at two each.
