The Taiwan-Philippine Association would see the same two teams at the top of the standings as the prior season. Defending TPA champ Taoyuan earned repeat Taiwan League titles and set a new franchise-best at 104-58. Tainan was their closest competitor at 94-68. Davao took the Philippine League for the third consecutive season. The Devil Rays were 91-71, finishing six games ahead of Quezon.

Taoyuan’s Ting-Jen Hsu picked up the Taiwan-Philippine Association MVP as a two-way player. On the mound, the 25-yar old lefty had a 15-13 record, 2.40 ERA, and 229 strikeouts over 243.2 innings with 5.1 WAR. Hsu also played the outfield and had 5.2 WAR offensively in 92 games with 89 hits, 48 runs, and a .277/.343/.452 slash. His Tsunami teammate Hong-Hui Tseng won Pitcher of the Year, leading in wins (22-7), ERA (1.69), and quality starts (31). Tseng added 318 strikeouts over 277 innings and 7.9 WAR.

The Sundaland Association also had the same teams ending up at the top. Defending Austronesia Champion Bandung improved on the prior year to 101-61 and again won the Java League. Surabaya at 89-73 was their closest competitor. Batam (97-65) secured a third straight Malacca League title and earned a fifth playoff spot in six years. Only 87-75 Singapore gave the Blue Raiders any real opposition.

The Sharks’ challenge was led by 1B Gavin Loh, who won Sundaland Association MVP. The 31-year old Indonesian righty led in home runs (51), RBI (102), total bases (342), slugging (.604), OPS (.964), and wRC+ (219). Loh added 10.1 WAR. Also notable was Jakarta’s Wen-Yang Kuo becoming a three-time Reliever of the Year winner, posting 45 saves, a 0.86 ERA, and 6.1 WAR.

Batam’s Wisnu Mahmudiana won a third Pitcher of the Year in a row and became the fifth APB pitcher to achieve a Triple Crown. He had a 22-5 record, 0.91 ERA, and 406 strikeouts over 258 innings. Mahmudiana’s ERA was the second-lowest in a qualifying season, behind only Ahmad Syahmi Rusli’s 0.89 in 1982. Mahmudiana’s mark remains fifth best as of 2037. He was also the leader in WHIP (0.55), quality start (28), shutouts (8), FIP- (21) and WAR (14.0). His WHIP was a new single-season best that held until 2014 and he set pitching records for opponent’s triple slash (.136/.162/.364).

In the Taiwan-Philippine Association Championship rematch, Davao got revenge against Taoyuan and took it in five games. This was only the second-ever pennant for the Devil Rays, joining the 1975 season. The Sundaland Association Championship rematch saw Bandung repeat as champs, besting Batam 4-1. The Blackhawks are three-time SA winners, also having a title in 1967. The Blue Raiders are now 1-4 in their SAC appearances in the last six seasons.

The 31^st Austronesia Championship saw Davao earn its first-ever overall title, beating Bandung 4-1. Closer Wei-Min Chiang won finals MVP, posting five saves and two wins in seven playoff appearances, tossing 10.2 scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts. Also of note, Bandung’s Aris Bau set playoff records for H/9 (1.89), opponent average (.067), slugging (.067), and OPS (.163). He had a 0.47 ERA over 19 playoff innings with 33 strikeouts. With Davao’s title, 14 of APB’s 20 teams have won the overall title. Only Tainan, Zamboanga, Palembang, Singapore, Depok, and Pekanbaru lack a APB ring. Singapore, Depok, and Zamboanga each have also yet to make the finals.

Other notes: On May 30^th, Quezon’s Jared Alvarez had possibly the most dominant pitching performance in pro baseball history. Against Manila, Alvarez had APB’s 21^st Perfect Game, striking out 22 of the 27 batters he faced. As of 2037, this is a world record for most strikeouts in a perfect game and in a no-hitter. There had been two previous 22K no-nos in the World Baseball Championship (and would be a 22k perfect game in 2005). Alvarez also tied the APB record for strikeouts in a regulation game, while Vhon Lasam got 23 Ks in 10.1 innings back in 1984.

It got less attention, but Semarang’s Ferdinand Muchayyin also had a perfect game in 1995, striking out 10 against Pekanbaru. Ronald Purnomo became the seventh pitcher to 200 career wins. Chang-Rong Chang became the 15^th batter to 2000 hits. 1B Akbar Fatchurohman won his ninth consecutive Gold Glove.
