Sapporo took the Japan North Division in 1935 at 97-63, giving them their third division title in four years. Last year's winner Saitama was in a log-jam in the middle of the division. Meanwhile in the South, Kobe narrowly took it at 94-68, besting defending EAB champ Nagoya who finished four games behind.

Sting second baseman Ji-Un So won the MVP with the league lead in OPS (.900) and wRC+ (190). Swordfish Joon-Kyu Cho won his third Pitcher of the Year in four seasons. The 28-year old lefty led Japan in strikeouts for the fifth time and led the league in quality starts (28) and WAR (8.1).

In Korea, Suwon won a third consecutive North Division at 101-61 with only Incheon (94-68) providing a strong challenge. In the South, Busan secured a fourth consecutive division title with the defending Korea League champs going 110-52. Ulsan again was excellent, but their 104 wins weren’t enough for their first playoff berth.

Ulsan third baseman Kyu-Min Ri won his second straight league MVP, as the 31-year old led Korea in WAR (9.8), batting average (.353) and RBI (100). Busan’s Yu-Geon Moon picked up his second Pitcher of the Year, leading in ERA (1.68), wins (23), WHIP (0.87) and WAR (8.7).

The Japan League Championship Series went all seven games as Kobe defeated Sapporo for their first-ever league title. In the third straight Korea League Championship Series matchup between Busan and Suwon, the Snappers finally prevailed. Taking it in five, it’s Suwon’s first-ever Korean title. In the East Asian Championship, the Blaze cruised to a sweep over the Snappers.

Other notes: Three perfect games were thrown within a two month stretch. On May 15, Osaka’s Takeshi Hinata did it against Saitama. On May 29, Kawasaki’s Min-Gyu Sun did it against Hiroshima. Then June 29, Tokyo’s Yuko Hamada pulled it off versus Nagoya.

Nagoya’s Michiro Yabuta became the first EAB pitcher to 4000 career strikeouts. Toma Dobashi of Pyongyang became the first EAB hitter to cross 2500 career hits. Ji-Hyun Kim of Yongin became the second pitcher to 300 career saves. Suwon centerfielder Seung-Min Hwang won his eighth Gold Glove.
