The 1937 Ullamaliztli Namiqui season has come to an end, but who turned out on top?

3 different teams held the lead in this last month: León, Guadalajara and of course, San Luis. However, this was Guadalajara's title to lose, all season long. Coming into the last 2 series it was the club from Jalisco who held the lead. They lost the first game against Tampico, but bounced back to win the other 2 while San Luis piled on the pressure by sweeping Mérida. Now, San Luis has a game in hand due to rain on the 13th of June forcing a doubleheader to start the final series against León (44-36). Guadalajara faced Puebla (40-41) which were thought to be a weaker opponent than León, making them clear favorites to win it all. Of course, León could also win the series against San Luis and win it all.

The suspense wouldn't last long. San Luis swept the doubleheader while Guadalajara lost the first game to relinquish the lead. A 6-4 win against León the following day clinched the championship for San Luis, together with Guadalajara's 9-2 loss to Puebla.

Your 1937 Champions: Tunas de San Luis!
Let's break it down:

Tunas de San Luis - 1st (+3), 23-10 to end the season
A wonderful resurgence in the last stretch allows San Luis to lift their first ever title! Only being outscored by Mérida and with the best pitching staff in the game, it's a deserved win for a team who came 6th last year.

Best hitters:
LF Miguel Muñoz - .307/.361/.406, 11 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR, 39 RBI, 5 SB
2B Max Braud - .315/.363/.360, 11 2B, 1 HR, 25 RBI, 4 SB
RF Roberto Hernández - .289/.323/.399, 11 2B, 3 3B, 4 HR, 36 RBI, 4 SB

Rotation:
RHP Roberto Mestre - 173.2 IP, 1.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 11 K%
LHP Francisco Camacho - 168.1 IP, 2.46 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 11.5 K%
RHP César Plascencia - 175.2 IP, 2.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 13.5 K%
RHP Luis García - 159.1 IP, 2.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 8.2 K%

Obsidianas de Guadalajara - 2nd (-1), 15-18 to end the season
The Jalisco press is already calling for Roberto Rodríguez to be fired after that finish. On top of that, the team only won one more game than last season. The second best defensive team was also the second worst offensive team at the end and they'll be hoping for better hitting and a championship next season.

Best hitters:
2B César Loaiza - .311/.346/.409, 12 2B, 1 3B, 6 HR, 49 RBI, 3 SB
SS Ricardo Solorio - .287/.335/.360, 11 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 22 RBI, 3 SB
CF Raúl Pérez - .275/.308/.386, 17 2B, 6 3B, 3 HR, 24 RBI, 28 SB

Rotation:
LHP Carlos Casillas - 189.1 IP, 2.14 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 12.3 K%

RHP Hermenegildo Lomas - 29.1 IP, 3.38 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 12.8 K%

Flechas de León - 3rd (+2), 20-13 to end the season
A suitable finish considering their statistical output, though some fans might be expecting more after holding the lead at several points over this last month. They have a good team and should be right back in the fight for the title next year.

Best hitters:
LF Andrés Suárez - .280/.359/.390, 11 2B, 2 3B, 6 HR, 36 RBI, 2 SB
1B Julio Pera - .308/.353/.364, 5 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 18 RBI, 2 SB
CF Juan Negrete - .286/.340/.361, 20 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 16 RBI, 36 SB

Rotation:
RHP Antonio Aguilar - 155.1 IP, 3.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.4 K%
RHP Luis Cruz - 148.2 IP, 2.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 9.7 K%
LHP Jonathan Estrada - 146.1 IP, 2.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 11.6 K%
LHP Alejandro Carranza - 146.1 IP, 2.52 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 10 K%

Serpientes de Puebla 4th (-1), 17-16 to end the season
Despite losing 4 more games, Puebla was 3 games closer to the title this year. They were 3rd in runs scored but their pitching let them down big time. With veteran Miguel Cazares calling it quits, expect more changes to the rotation for next year.

Best hitters:
2B Fernando del Toro - .282/.355/.380, 9 2B, 1 3B, 7 HR, 35 RBI, 4 SB
CF Jorge Ramírez - .287/.307/.384, 15 2B, 4 3B, 4 HR, 25 RBI, 36 SB
LF Héctor Ramírez - .288/.327/.365, 11 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 30 RBI

Rotation:
RHP Rafael Sianez - 184.1 IP, 1.37 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 8.2 K%
RHP Eulogio Martínez - 164.2 IP, 3.22 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 11.1 K%
RHP Victor Villarroel - 111 IP, 3.89 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 10.8 K%
LHP Miguel Cazares - 163.2 IP, 3.13 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 8.7 K% (Retired at the end of the season)

Jaguares de México - 5th (+1), 19-14 to end the season
Another 5th place finish for them, this time winning 2 more games. All around improvement is needed though their stars are still relatively young.

Best hitters:
3B Rico Santistevan - .302/.353/.399, 10 2B, 2 3B, 5 HR, 32 RBI, 1 SB
RF Salvador Velazquez - .260/.345/.339, 9 2B, 1 3B, 5 HR, 34 RBI, 12 SB
CF Armando Rodríguez - .275/.305/.359, 17 2B, 2 2B, 2 HR, 24 RBI, 12 SB

Rotation:
LHP Andrés Amaya - 187 IP, 2.60 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 7.9 K%
LHP Luis Helguera - 178.1 IP, 2.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 8.7 K%
RHP David Garza - 115 IP, 4.23 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 5.2 K%
LHP Iván Solano - 106.2 IP, 2.62 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 7.8 K%

Aulladores de Mérida - 6th (-4), 12-21 to end the season
It was a disappointing end for the former defending champions, with them being the best offensive team and still having a decent rotation. Next year they're prime candidates for a bounce back into the title fight.

Best hitters:
CF Celestino de la Rosa - .299/.425/450, 19 2B, 11 3B, 1 HR, 42 RBI, 18 SB
1B Santiago Salas - .274/.363/.369, 9 2B, 3 3B, 5 HR, 25 RBI, 3 SB

Rotation:
RHP Jesús Pérez - 163.2 IP, 2.31 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 9.7 K%

LHP José García - 163 IP, 3.04 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 6.6 K%
RHP Jonathan Tirado - 155 IP, 3.25 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 7.8 K%

Jaibas de Tampico - 7th (NC), 12-21 to end the season
The club will be very happy to be out of the bottom of the table and with a 7 win improvement. Even so, there's still a long way to go before they can compete.

Best hitters:
LF Ricardo Palacios - .315/.387/.408, 13 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 30 RBI, 21 SB
2B Julio Ortiz - .294/.338/.338, 9 2B, 18 RBI, 2 SB

RHP Francisco Barajas - 142 IP, 2.03 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 12.7 K%
RHP Zenón Sandoval - 158 IP, 4.90 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 9.9 K%
LHP Miguel Zuñiga - 68 IP, 3.71 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 6.5 K%

Águilas de México - 8th (NC), 14-19 to end the season
The Eagles lost one more game and dropped into last place this season. Owner Israel López might grow impatient soon if things don't improve for the club.

Best hitters:
RF Victor Barrios - .332/.394/.401, 15 2B, 2 HR, 26 RBI, 1 SB
3B David Herrera - .317/.376/.395, 12 2B, 4 HR, 29 RBI

RHP Raúl Romero - 48.1 IP, 5.96 ERA, 2.21 WHIP, 4.5 K%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second season was a success, attendances and profits increased across the board. As a result, the league is set to expand in 2 years, when the first wave of Free Agents is released. More info to come. In the next post we'll go over the 1937 Award Winners!
