- Both of the wild card winners upset the #1 seeds in round 1 and both would get to the World Series for the 1st time in league history.
- The Long Beach Titans would take home their 1st title and halt the Cowboys bid to become just the 2nd back to back champions in IBL history.
- The Frontier League now leads the Continental 6-5 in World Series wins.
- Brendon Pugh (WAS) .326 and Matt Hintz (MEM) .310 took home the batting titles.
- The Portland Pioneers lost 114 games, which I believe is a new record.
- Raynaud Gusti (BOS) and Miguel Ramirez (ALB) tied for the FL HR crown at 52 while Chris Theurer (MEM) led the IBL with 53.
- Mike Goode of Long Beach was the only hurler to record a 300K season (305). Mike Arnold ended with 298.
- Just one no-hitter this year. Memphis' Mike Edens struck out 6 at Oklahoma City on May 29th.
- 2010 Milestones:
