At the all-star break, Tahiti was 53-35 with a four-game Pacific League lead on defending Oceania Baseball Association champ Guadalcanal and Timor at 49-39. The Tropics had an all-time great second half at 55-19, cruising to first place at 108-54 for their second pennant in four years and 15^th overall. Tahiti had by far the fewest runs allowed in OBA at 427; the next best was 547. The Tropics also had the best run differential at +259 with a season attendance of 2,082,056; the second-best in PL history.

Guadalcanal had a rock solid second half at 49-25, but their 98-64 was still ten games back. The Green Jackets have won 89+ games in eight consecutive seasons. The Tapirs struggled on the back end and fell to a very distant third at 83-79. Honolulu was the top scoring team (699) but allowed the most (733) for a fourth place 82-80.

Six players got a first place vote for Pacific League MVP, but 8/20 went to Tahiti DH Jun Lopez-Torres, earning his fourth straight award. He also won back in 2030, becoming the ninth in OBA history with 5+ MVPs. Lopez-Torres was in his third year with the Tropics and had also won MVPs with Melbourne and Guam prior to his Tropics arrival.

The 32-year old Australian led in runs (115) while adding 181 hits, 26 doubles, 12 triples, 37 home runs, 109 RBI, .293/.325/.554 slash, 156 wRC+, and 6.5 WAR. Lopez-Torres won his seventh Silver Slugger, although it was his first as a designated hitter instead of a corner outfielder. Next highest in the MVP voting was Fiji 1B Romeo Ng, who led with 7.1 WAR. Honolulu’s Levi Cole finished third and was the leader in homers (46) and RBI (112).

The Tropics also claimed Pitcher of the Year and had the top three candidates. Clement Alu in his Tahiti debut took it with 15 first place votes and 125 points. Dirk Murray, who had won three of the last four, was second with five first place votes and 95 points.

It was Alu’s second POTY, having also won in 2029 with Fiji. He was traded mid-2033 to Christchurch and stayed there until 2037, signing a five-year, $59 million free agent deal with Tahiti. The 33-year old Papuan lefty won his first ERA title at 1.81. Alu added a 23-5 record, 268.1 innings, 250 strikeouts, 190 ERA+, 75 FIP-, and 6.8 WAR.
