Last year’s Bolivar League runner-up Lima took the top seed in 2035 at 105-57 atop the Peru-Bolivia Division. The Lobos extended their playoff streak to nine seasons with their sixth division crown of the run. Lima scored 914 runs, the third-most in any Beisbol Sudamerica season. Still, they had to fend off a tough 99-63 Arequipa for the division crown. The Arrows, the 2034 top seed, grew their playoff streak to seven seasons as the first wild card.

Reigning Copa Sudamerica champ Quito was 99-63 for a third consecutive Colombia-Ecuador Division title. Cali was second at 93-69 and ended a three-year postseason skid as the second wild card. The Cyclones allowed 616 runs, the fewest in the BL. Barranquilla was third in the division at 89-73 and was the nearest wild card foe. La Paz, a wild card last year, was next in that hunt at 87-75. The Pump Jacks offense notably had only 922 strikeouts all season, setting a BL record.

In 2034, Caracas had their first losing season since 2015. The Colts returned to the top of the Venezuela Division in 2035 with a 90-72 record; their 37^th division crown in franchise history. It was a tight race with Valencia (87-75), Maracaibo (84-78), and Barquisimeto (83-79) each giving chase. The Velocity had won 100+ games the prior two years and the pennant in 2033.

Lima RF Marc Melgar won his fourth Bolivar League MVP, having previously done it from 2028-30. The hometown hero also won his seventh Silver Slugger in his 12^th season with the Lobos. The 33-year old righty led in runs (131), RBI (158), total bases (431), slugging (.716), and OPS (1.129). Melgar had 224 hits, 34 doubles, 13 triples, 49 home runs, .372 average, .413 OBP, 182 wRC+, and 8.9 WAR. His effort was tied for the seventh-most RBI in a BSA season and was one of only 36 seasons of 130+ runs. Melgar also hit for the cycle on April 2 against Barranquilla, the second of his career.

Maracay was awful at 68-94, but their ace Orlando Cepeda still won his second Pitcher of the Year, having also done it in 2031. He managed to lead in wins at 21-8 while posting a 2.98 ERA, 137 ERA+, 244.2 innings, 286 strikeouts, and 6.9 WAR. Cepeda was the first-ever draft pick by the expansion Misfits, taken third in 2028. After more failures in 2036, Maracay would trade the Venezuelan ace to Bogota.

Cali outlasted Caracas 2-1 in the first round of the playoffs, but got promptly swept by top-seed Lima in the divisional series. Arequipa bested Quito 3-1 on the other side of the bracket. Every Bolivar League Championship Series since 2027 has featured the Lobos or Arrows, but their only time meeting in the BLCS was Lima’s 2031 pennant.

Never before had two Peruvian teams met in the LCS. However, the rivals had met recently in the 2029, 2033, and 2034 divisional series. The Arrows won in 2029 and 2033 with a Lobos win in 2034. For 2035 in six games, Arequipa got the road upset over Lima to earn their second title (2029). The Lobos are now 2-4 in their LCS trips during their postseason streak.

A competitive Southern Cone League had the five playoff teams separated by only six wins. Santiago’s BSA-record playoff streak grew to 16 seasons as they took the top seed at 97-65. The Saints won their seventh consecutive South Central Division title and have only once been a wild card in the playoff streak. Santiago was also the top scoring team at 776 runs. Defending league champ Salta was second in the division at 92-70, which was good enough for the first wild card.

The other division winners finished 94-68 with Brasilia in the North and Porto Alegre in the Southeast. They both were first by four wins after 162 games. In the last decade, the Bearcats have seven playoff berths, bouncing back after going 80-82 in 2034. The Armadillos earned only their third-ever playoff trip (2017, 2020). Brasilia allowed the fewest runs in BSA at 530.

Both divisions’ second place teams were 90-72; Sao Paulo and Recife. The Padres, last year’s LCS runner-up, defeated the Retrievers in the tiebreaker game to advance. Since 2022, SP has only missed the playoffs thrice. Montevideo was also in the wild card race but fell just short at 88-74. Rio de Janeiro was 84-78, notably getting their first winning campaign since 2023.

Mendoza was among the worst teams at 67-95, but 1B Zosimo Serraro wouldn’t be denied Southern Cone League MVP in his fifth season. The 27-year old Argentine lefty led in runs (117), doubles (45), homers (52), total bases (434), slugging (.705), OPS (1.120), wRC+ (222), and WAR (10.4). Serrano had 223 hits, 113 RBI, a .362 average, and .416 OBP. The Mutants had taken him with the #1 pick in the 2030 BSA Draft. Although Serrano has delivered individually, the team success hasn’t followed.

In only his second season in the rotation, Porto Alegre’s Bryan Neves won Pitcher of the Year. The 23-year old Brazilian righty led in wins (23-10) and innings (285). Neves had a 2.46 ERA, 148 ERA+, 233 strikeouts, and 6.2 WAR. The Armadillos had picked Neves with the #6 selection in the 2029 BSA Draft. He saw limited relief use from 2032-33, then became a starter in 2034.

In a rematch of last year’s Southern Cone League Championship, Sao Paulo got revenge on Salta 2-1 in the first round. The Padres then upset top seed Santiago 3-1 in the divisional series to earn their eighth LCS trip since 2024. The Saints suffered one-and-dones in back-to-back years as the #1 seed.

Brasilia on the other side downed Porto Alegre 3-1 to earn their second LCS trip in three years. However, the Bearcats were looking to snap a 32-year pennant drought. They succeeded, stopping Sao Paulo 4-2 to become six-time Southern Cone kings (1935, 1937, 1938, 1999, 2002, 2035).

The 105^th Copa Sudamerica saw the 28^th unique franchise to claim the Cup. Arequipa became a first-time winner as they cruised to a 4-1 win over Brasilia. RF Blair Vidal was finals MVP in his fifth year with the Arrows. A platoon starter generally, Vidal only had seven postseason at-bats, but got five hits, three runs, 1 double, 2 homers, and 6 RBI.

Other notes: Longtime Arrows star Paco Amorim finished the season with 1445 walks, passing Matias Amaro (1379) to become BSA’s all-time leader. Next year, he could reach 1500+ walks, which has only been met by 41 players in all of pro baseball history. In 2035, the 35-year old Amorim led in on-base percentage for the 13^th time. He also became the 20^th member of BSA’s 3000 hit club, but most importantly helped his team to their first Cup in his 17-year odyssey. Prior to the season, the five-time MVP re-upped for another four years and $101,200,000 with Arequipa.

In other batting milestones, Matty de Sousa became the 68^th member of the 500 homer club. Edwar Miron and Miguel Cruz were the 87^th and 88^th to 2500 hits. Jesus Fresco had a six-hit game on May 7, joining Juan Rizo as the only BSA players to do it twice in a career. Only ten batters in world history have multiple six-hit games. Fresco had also done it in 2033, both with Sao Paulo.

Otavio Furtado became the 19^th pitcher with 4500 strikeouts and Ivan Scaccabarozzi was the 55^th to 3500 Ks. Santino Condori became the 74^th with 200 wins and Baltar Orellana the 44^th to 300 saves. In bad pitching, Curitiba’s staff was quite poor with a 4.82 ERA, 1730 hits, 767 earned runs, 974 strikeouts, 10.88 H/9, 6/13 K/9, and 1.451 WHIP. Each of those was either the second or third-worst in Southern Cone League history. The #1 worst for was also the Carnivores during their 2029 season.
