The Western Conference had a slight shakeup at the top as Alexandria was the top seed at 102-60, ending a four-year playoff drought. The Astronauts had the fewest runs allowed in the WC (672) and the best run differential (+206) in all of Arab League Baseball. They had to fend off tough competition in a loaded Nile Division, which saw both wild cards.

Giza (96-66) and Suez (91-71) took those slots with the Goats leading the conference with 878 runs scored. Giza’s 1687 team hits were the third-most in conference history, giving them their second wild card in three years. It was the third berth in five years for the Sabres. Cairo, who had been the conference runner-up the past two years, was the first team out at 88-74. The Pharaohs ended the season on a seven-game win streak, but the hole was too deep to climb out of.

The other divisions had clear winners with Beirut atop the Levant at 98-64 and Algiers atop the Mediterranean at 96-66. The Bluebirds’ playoff streak grew to five seasons and the Arsenal earned their 14^th berth in 15 years. Defending conference champ Damascus and last year’s Mediterranean winner Oran both fell to 71-91. For the Dusters, it was their first losing season since 2026.

Western Conference MVP went to Suez 1B Hamdi Bahri, who also won the honor back in 2033. The 28-year old Syrian lefty led in runs (135) and had 208 hits, 32 doubles, 52 home runs, 126 RBI, .347/.414/.678 slash, 172 wRC+, and 7.8 WAR. He’s a potential free agent after the 2038 season if the Sabres don’t re-sign him. Bahri had 26 first place votes while Beirut’s Ahmed Namil had four. Namil was the conference leader in homers (61), RBI (142), OPS (1.183), and WAR (8.0).

Alexandria’s Mostafa El-Awady was Pitcher of the Year in his third season for the Astronauts. He previously won the top honor with Suez in 2033, then signed for 2035 with Alexandria at $220,200,000 over seven years. The 30-year old Egyptian lefty led in wins (20-8) while posting a 3.08 ERA in 233.2 innings, 298 strikeouts, 147 ERA+, and 8.2 WAR.

Giza downed Suez 2-0 in the wild card round and gave Alexandria a challenge in the second round. After splitting the first two games (7-4 to Alexandria, 4-3 to Giza), the Astronauts survived 9-8 in 11 innings for game three. Both teams had three runs in the ninth to tie things at 7-7. The Goats scored one in the top of the 11^th, but Alexandria got a sac fly and RBI single for the walkoff, earning their first trip to the Western Conference Final since 2029.

Beirut rolled Algiers with 5-1 and 5-0 wins on the other side of the bracket, giving the Bluebirds their second conference final trip in four years. Alexandria had home field advantage, but Beirut cruised to a sweep with 13-4, 2-0, and 6-1 wins. Abdul Muhaimin Akbar had eight shutout innings in game two and Ahmed Natiq gave up one run over 8.1 innings for game three. RF Kasib Al-Turab was series MVP, going 4-13 with three homers and six RBI. The Bluebirds picked up their third pennant (2004, 2034, 2037).
