1935 in BSA

Caracas claimed the Bolivar North Division for the third time in five seasons in 1935, finishing with a league-best 108-54 record. Defending Copa Sudamerica champ Medellin dropped off to 87-wins, taking third behind 100-62 Bogota. In the South Division, Lima narrowly took the top spot at 101-61, one game better than defending division champ Cali.
The Bolivar MVP was Colts centerfielder Nelson Coelho, who they acquired in a trade from Callao last summer. Coelho was the leader in the triple slash, runs (113), and doubles (36). Lobos ace Mohmaed Ramos won his second Pitcher of the Year with a career best in ERA (1.61) and WHIP (0.71). In five seasons, Ramos now has 2322 strikeouts and 62 WAR.

Brasilia claimed the best record in Liga Cono Sur again , taking the Brazil Division at 109-53. Salvador again had a 100+ win season but came up second. In a weaker South Division, Rosario took first at 89-73 for their second-ever division title. They had to defeat Santiago In a one-game playoff after the Robins and Saints tied for the title.
Rosario had the league MVP in Mohammed Jimenez, as the 30-year old third baseman led the league in home runs (42) and RBI (117). Bearcats pitcher Rey Parisi was the Pitcher of the Year with the league lead in ERA at 1.76.
The Bolivar League Championship Series went seven games for the first time as Lima edged Caracas for their first title and the first by a Peruvian team. The Southern Cone final was a sweep for Brasilia over Rosario for their first title. Copa Sudamerica went the distance as well as the Bearcats beat the Lobos in seven games.
