For the first time since their repeat APB titles in 1982-83, Taoyuan was atop the Taiwan League. The Tsunami finished 100-62 to also post the best record in the Taiwan-Philippine Association. Taichung was the closest competitor at 96-66, while defending TPA champ Taipei fell to 83-79. Davao was a repeat Philippine League winner with a 95-67 mark. The Devil Rays finished seven games ahead of Cebu.

Claiming Association MVP was Davao designated hitter Austin Calmet. The 31-year old Filipino righty joined the Devil Rays in 1994 in a trade after spending a decade with Quezon. Calmet led in OBP (.374) and OPS (.886) while adding 6.4 WAR and a .315 average. Cebu’s Ricky Jungao became a three-time Pitcher of the Year winner. The 31-year old lefty led in WAR (11.2), FIP- (41), and strikeouts (384). Jungao added a 2.03 ERA over 261.1 innings with a 16-10 record.

Batam was the Malacca League’s best for the fourth time in five years. The 103-59 Blue Raiders also had the Sundaland Association’s best record by a large margin. In a competitive Java League, Bandung earned its first playoff berth since 1981. The Blackhawks were 91-71, edging two-time defending APB champ Jakarta by two games.

Blue Raiders LF Nerius Senaen won his fourth Sundaland Association MVP in five years. He remarkably earned the honor with only 108 games played as a herniated disc and a fractured hand cost him more than two months. Still, Senaen managed to post 8.5 WAR with a .313/.387/.606 slash and 258 wRC+ with 26 home runs. He also won his second Gold Glove and became the fifth APB hitter to pick up six hits in a single game. His Batam teammate Wisnu Mahmudiana earned repeat Pitcher of the Year honors. He was two ERA points shy of a Triple Crown with a 20-4 record, 1.36 ERA, and 398 strikeouts over 258 innings. Mahmudiana also was the leader in WHIP (0.66), K/BB (13.3), and WAR (11.2). His crowning moment was throwing APB’s 20^th Perfect Game on August 14 against Depok with 16 strikeouts in the effort.

In the Taiwan-Philippine Association Championship, Taoyuan topped Davao 4-2. This gave the Tsunami their fifth pennant (1971, 78, 82, 83, 94). Despite having home field, Batam was swept by Bandung in the Sundaland Association Championship. It is only the second pennant for the Blackhawks, who won it all back in 1967.

The home field advantage rotation belonged to the Sundaland Association in 1994. This helped Bandung prevail over Taoyuan in the 30^th Austronesia Championship, as the home team won every game of a seven-game battle. Leading the Blackhawks to their second title was CF Ansar Salim, who won both APB finals and Association finals MVP. The 32-year old Salim had joined Bandung on a four-year, $4,960,000 free agent deal after spending his first decade with Singapore. In 11 playoff starts, Salim had 17 hits, 7 runs, 2 doubles, 2 home runs, and 7 RBI.

Other notes: Hadi Ningsih became the second APB pitcher to 4000 career strikeouts. Chang-Rong Chang became the eighth batter to 1000 runs scored. Wei-Shan Tsai became the 14^th member of the 2000 hit club. Akbar Fatchurohman won his eighth consecutive Gold Glove at first base. Tai-Chi Chu won his seventh Gold Glove and his first at second base, as he won the other six at first base. CF Fransisco Hartati won his seventh Silver Slugger.
