With the 2029 season complete, South Asia Baseball became the 11^th of the major pro baseball organizations to complete 50 seasons. SAB’s results were very top heavy, punctuated by multiple long playoff streaks and dynasties from the top teams.



Ahmedabad was the most successful team overall and dominated the Indian League. The Animals averaged an incredible 97.1 wins per season with 12 SAB Championships, 16 IL pennants, 25 LCS appearances, 37 playoff berths, and 32 division titles. By team score, Visakhapatnam was the next best in the Indian League. The Volts made the playoffs nearly half the time (24) as did Jaipur (23), although they had far fewer titles to show for it.

The Southeast Asia League’s Yangon actually had the most overall playoff berths at 39, thanks in part to their world record 29-year streak. Ho Chi Minh City’s dynasty gave them the most SAB titles (6) and pennants (15) of the SEAL teams compared to 5 and 12 for the Green Dragons. HCMC’s struggles post dynasty though had them tied with Dhaka at 28 playoff berths. Yangon had SEAL’s best team score and the most division titles at 27.

The Indian League beat 30-20 in the finals matchups. All of the original teams had made the playoffs once, although three (Surat, Phnom Penh, Chittagong) have never won a division title. Surat, Chittagong, and Chennai are the original teams to never win a pennant. 15 teams have won the SAB Championship. Of the non-expansion teams, Kathmandu had the worst average win total (72.5) but Chittagong and Surat both had the worst team score (6).
