In the Mexican North Division, Monterrey earned their first-ever division title at 92-70. Mexicali finished two back at 90-72, a big turnaround from a 64-win 1933. Defending champ Juarez won 85 games, finishing fourth. Meanwhile, Mexico City won their second-ever South Division title, running away with the title at 106-56. The Aztecs snapped Ecatepec’s run, as the Explosion took second at 88-74.

Mexico City’s Kiko Velazquez won his fifth league MVP, joining Alex Hinjosa and Jonny Lucero as the only five-time winners. Still only 27-years old, Velazquez led in 1934 in hits (228), runs (125), RBI (121), triple slash (.385/.438/.731) and WAR (13.3). His .385 average was a CABA single-season record and his 13.3 WAR was the second-most in a season. The Aztecs also had Pitcher of the Year in Enrique Marquez, as the journeyman lefty at age 32 led Mexico in WAR (7.7) and WHIP (0.82)

Mexico City used their star power to claim their second MLCS title, as the Aztecs beat Monterrey in five games.

Defending CABA champ Jamaica won a fifth straight Island Division title. The Jazz at 107-55 had to fend off a solid challenge from 104-58 Santiago. Costa Rica at 90-72 won the Continental Division for the second time in three seasons.

Rays RF Domingo Huerta picked up his third MVP, leading the league in OBP (.389), slugging (.591), OPS (.981) and wRC+ (178). Jamaica veteran Glen Anderson won his second Pitcher of the Year at age 34, posting 7.5 WAR with a 2.00 ERA.

In a rematch of the 1932 CLCS, Jamaica swept Costa Rica, giving the Jazz back-to-back Caribbean titles and their third in five years. However, Jamaica was unable to successfully defend their overall CABA crown. Mexico City won the CABA Championship in six games for their franchise’s second overall title.

Other notes: Emmanuel Reyes (52) and David Ventura (50) had the fourth and fifth-ever 50+ home run seasons. Mexico City’s Enrique Marquez struck out 12 in a perfect game against Leon on May 28, 1934. Leonardo Najar and Javier Favela both became 10-time Gold Glove winners in left field and right field, respectively. Both would go onto to win it a record 12 times.
