Honolulu also completed their own rebuild on their way to the 2038 Pacific League title. The Honu had stunk from 2033-36, but got to 82-80 in 2037 before making the leap up to 100-62 in 2038. They had an impressive 36-18 record in one-run games. Honolulu won its 16^th PL pennant, tied for the second-most pennants of any Oceania Baseball Association team with only Guam (17) ahead. The Honu’s titles came in 1962, 63, 81-84, 86, 88-90, 93, 95, 96, 2019, 28, and 38.

At the all-star break, Honolulu had a firm six game lead on Timor. The Tapirs finished second at 92-70, a new franchise best for them, although they remain the only squad without a pennant. The Honu led in scoring with 754 runs, while Guam allowed the fewest at 536. The Golden Eagles placed third at 90-72 while reigning OBA champ Tahiti was fourth at 87-75. It was a nice bounce-back for Guam, who stunk at 66 wins the prior year. Also notable was Guadalcanal, who plummeted to 70-92. They had won three titles in the 2030s with no losing seasons until now.

The Pacific League had a first-time MVP in Timor’s Tae-Jin Yun, who got 17/20 first place votes. The 30-year old North Korean was in his first year with the Tapirs, having gotten traded in spring training after three years with Adelaide. Prior to that, he played his first seven seasons in his home country with Hamhung. In his three years with the Aardvarks, he had a total of 3.3 WAR with 108 wRC+.

It was a breakout effort in 2038 as Yun led in slugging (.579), OPS (.919), and wRC+ (171). He had 176 hits, 88 runs, 24 doubles, 12 triples, 32 home runs, 100 RBI, .318 average, and 6.0 WAR. Timor gave him a four-year, $42 million in extension in late May once it was clear that Yun was worth keeping around.

Dirk Murray won his fourth Pitcher of the Year in unanimous fashion, although it was his first with Honolulu. The 35-year old Canadian had a respectable seven-year run in MLB with Sacramento before arriving and dominating for the Tropics from 2032-37. Murray signed as a free agent at $128 million over four years for the Honu and played a big role in their turnaround. Despite his success and the unanimous win, he wasn’t a league leader in any stat.

Murray had a 22-10 record, 2.54 ERA, 333.1 innings, 363 strikeouts, 136 ERA+, 82 FIP-, and 7.4 WAR. He was top five in all of the major stats, as the ERA winner Aaron Folkes (1.96) only had 206.2 innings. Timor’s Bret Poblano notably had the best WAR (8.0) and strikeouts (396) with a 2.79 ERA, but the pennant and name-brand for Murray went a long way. Poblano was a notable OBA debut at age 28 after the Nicaraguan had been a CABA/MLB journeyman. He also tossed a no-hitter against the Honu on May 30.
