2013 was the first time since 1993 that Austronesia Professional Baseball didn’t add anyone into its Hall of Fame. Closer Bo-Kai Yen came close to a first ballot nod, but his 62.7% was just shy of the 66% requirement. Fellow reliever Chang-Heng Chang was the top returner at 61.3% for his fifth ballot. The only other player above 50% was RF Basuki Susanti with 58.4% for his third go. Seven players were in the 40s.



Pitcher Wei-Min Chiang was the lone player dropped after ten failed ballots. He had a split career between relief and starting, but did win three straight Reliever of the Year awards for Davao from 1994-96. Chiang also tossed 10.2 scoreless innings in the 1995 postseason, helping the Devil Rays to the APB Championship.

Between Davao and Palembang, Chiang had a 81-100 record, 141 saves, 202 shutdowns, 2.39 ERA, 1584 innings, 1843 strikeout, 391 walks, 105 ERA+, and 27.9 WAR. His relief run was too brief to reach the important stats and his time as a starter was generally subpar. Still, Chiang debuted at 30.5% and lasted ten ballots, finishing at 5.8%.

Also notable from the Davao dynasty was SP Kundugga Fakdawer, who dropped below 5% on his ninth ballot and peaked at 18.2%. He had a respectable run, but was in the “Hall of Good” camp with a 131-125 record, 2.86 ERA, 2475 innings, 2789 strikeouts, 443 walks, 101 ERA+, and 48.8 WAR.
