A weaker 2040 Hall of Fame ballot for Austronesia Professional Baseball saw only one player breach the 66% induction threshold. Pitcher Yee Husin on his third ballot made it in with 75.7%. SP Patrick Chen barely missed at 64.8% on his second try, as did SP Kuo-Chen Kao at 61.0% on his sixth ballot. C Fandi Makatindu was the best debut at 55.1%. Two other returners were above 50% with SP Joseph Vasquez at 51.3% for his sixth go and SP Jacob Chang at 50.1% for his seventh attempt.

The one man dropped after ten failed ballots was SP James Mancebo, who peaked with his 33.8% debut and ended at 8.8%. In a 15-year run almost exclusively with Taipei, he had one ERA title and was twice second in Pitcher of the Year voting. Mancebo had a 174-125 record, 2.45 ERA, 2828 innings, 2951 strikeouts, 112 ERA+, 74 FIP-, and 72.7 WAR.

Mancebo had a 4-10 record in the playoffs with a 2.99 ERA over 105.1 innings, 105 Ks, 92 ERA+, 89 FIP-, and 2.0 WAR. He did help the Tigercats win it all in 2020 after so many early exits in their playoff streak. Mancebo did also have an impressive 0.39 ERA over 23 innings in their APB finals loss in 2016. Unfortunately for him, there are so many stud pitchers in the ultra-low scoring APB with more impressive totals, thus he was banished to the Hall of Pretty Good.

Yee Husin – Starting Pitcher – Palembang Panthers – 75.7% Third Ballot

Yee Husin was a 6’0’’, 200 pound right-handed pitcher from Tangerang, Indonesia; a city of nearly two million people bordering Jakarta. Husin had rock solid stuff and movement, although his control was merely average. His velocity peaked in the 96-98 mph range with the rare six pitch arsenal of fastball, slider, curveball, forkball, changeup, and splitter. All but the changeup had at least decent grades as well and were perfectly viable options.

Relative to other APB aces, Husin’s stamina was average. Although he managed to post an 18-year career, he also ran into several major injuries that limited his innings. Husin also was terrible at holding runners with weak defense, but fortunately he didn’t give up a lot of baserunners to begin with.

Husin was one of the rare high school prospects who didn’t sign a developmental deal, but was instead drafted as a teenager. His potential was strong enough to warrant the #4 pick in the 2012 APB Draft from Palembang. The Panthers kept him in the academy training two full seasons, debuting him with 40.2 innings in 2015. He saw a partial starter role in 2016 with sketchy results, then suffered a torn rotator cuff at the end of the season. Fortunately, he was healed up for 2017, but Palembang still used him only as a part-time starter.

In 2018, he earned the full-time starter role and had arguably his best-ever season, leading the Sundaland Association with 324 strikeouts. That was his only time ever leading a major stat and his 8.8 WAR would be a career best, taking third in Pitcher of the Year voting. Palembang ended a decade-long playoff drought going 101-61 atop the Java Sea League, but lost the association championship 4-1 to Johor Bahru. Husin struggled in his two starts with a 5.91 ERA in 10.2 innings.

He kept a similar pace in 2019, but hamstring issues kept him out two months in the spring and in the late fall. Husin missed the playoffs, but Palembang defeated Taipei to claim their first-ever Austronesia Championship. He was back by the Baseball Grand Championship and had a 2.59 ERA in 31.1 innings, 33 Ks, 147 ERA+, and 0.7 WAR.

Despite a fine showing, the Panthers finished last at 6-13. The effort was good enough for Palembang to give Husin a five-year, $45,900,000 extension that winter. Husin also became a World Baseball Championship regular for his native Indonesia. From 2018-27, he tossed 93.2 innings with a 9-2 record, 3.07 ERA, 119 strikeouts, and 2.2 WAR. The Indonesians earned three playoff berths with Husin’s help.

Husin was healthy in 2020 and Palembang repeated as Sundaland Association champ, but lost the APB title in a seven-game battle with Taipei. Husin had a 2.32 ERA over 31 playoff innings with 36 Ks and 1.1 WAR. He was respectable again in 2021 as the Panthers three-peated in the SA, this time at 101-61. Palembang defeated Hsinchu 4-2 to secure their second APB title in three years.

That was Husin’s strongest playoff run, going 1.78 ERA over 25.1 innings with 31 Ks en route to a finals MVP win. He was unable to follow it up in the BGC with a 4.71 ERA over 28.2 innings and 31 Ks. However, Palembang fared much better this time, taking third place at 13-6. This was the peak of their dynasty run, as they’d miss the playoffs by three wins the next year. The Panthers were then below .500 the following three years as they began a decade-plus playoff drought.

2022 had Husin’s first no-hitter on July 14 with 14 strikeouts and 1 walk facing Bandung. He looked like a legit ace again with a career high 345 strikeouts along with 8.3 WAR. Husin was back to his more standard production in 2023, his final season for Palembang. That year also saw a Silver Slugger win, although his career batting stats were putrid.

With the Panthers, he had a 100-67 record, 2.16 ERA, 1717 innings, 2107 strikeouts, 398 walks, 48 complete games, 16 shutouts, 118 ERA+, 73 FIP-, and 43.8 WAR. For his role in the dynasty, Palembang later retired his #33 uniform. The Panthers were out of contention by this point and Husin was coming up on age 30 with one year left on his deal. In December 2023, he was traded straight up to Medan for SS Jasper Akbar, who was ultimately a career backup. The Marlins were the defending APB champ and hoped for a dynasty run.

Husin posted a 1.81 ERA, 284 Ks, and 6.1 WAR for the Marlins in 2024. He also tossed his second no-hitter on June 2 against Bandung with 10 Ks. Medan was 89-73, four wins short of Pekanbaru in the Malacca League. They didn’t sign Husin long-term, making him a free agent for the first time in 2025. He signed a four-year, $49,200,000 deal to join Surabaya.

A sprained ankle limited him in 2015, but Husin joined the short list of guys with three no-hitters in a career. On June 21, he did it with 10 Ks facing Jakarta. It was his second no-hitter without a walk, but alas he wasn’t perfect. Husin wasn’t an awards candidate, but he was solid the next two years for the Sunbirds. They were in the middle-tier just outside of the playoffs during his tenure. In three seasons, Husin had a 29-30 record, 2.21 ERA, 642.2 innings, 761 strikeouts, 114 ERA+, 87 FIP- and 12.2 WAR.

With a year left, Husin was traded for 2028 to Depok for three prospects. A broken wrist and torn triceps limited him to 189.1 innings for the Demons, but he was effective with a 1.95 ERA and 5.0 WAR. Now a free agent again at age 35, Medan brought him in for a second run at $87,400,000 over four years. He tossed 176.2 solid innings in 2029, but would be limited to only 111 total innings over the next three years because of injuries.

In May 2030, Husin suffered a torn flexor tendon with a 12 month recovery time. Elbow inflammation kept him out after returning in 2031, although he did make a playoff start that year (he got rocked, 4 runs over 2.2 innings). Husin got a strained hamstring in early 2032, then had a torn rotator cuff in July 2032 that effectively ended his career.

Between Medan runs, Husin had a 26-31 record, 2.49 ERA, 530.2 innings, 594 strikeouts, 114 walks, 105 ERA+, 78 FIP-, and 11.9 WAR. Despite an estimated 16 month recovery for the torn rotator cuff, Husin hoped to make a comeback. He did actually sign in September 2033 with OBA’s Adelaide, but never made it to the field. Husin officially retired that winter at age 39.

Husin finished with a 166-135 record, 2.22 ERA, 3079.2 innings, 3694 strikeouts, 646 walks, 300/399 quality starts, 91 complete games, 27 shutouts, 115 ERA+, 77 FIP-, and 72.9 WAR. He ranks 86^th in wins, 65^th in innings, 36^th in strikeouts, and 42^nd in WAR among pitchers. Husin’s ERA is 98^th among those with 1000+ innings, his .550 opponent’s OPS is 71^st, and his 10.80 K/9 is 74^th.

Even with how pitcher-friendly Austronesia Professional Baseball Hall of Fame voters are, Husin’s resume didn’t really pop among the tough competition. He never won POTY, was only a finalist once, and barely had black ink. His rate stats were solid, but not exemplary. Husin’s grand totals also weren’t huge either, but his higher than expected marks for Ks, WAR, and FIP- helped him with Sabermetric-minded voters.

Doing a big part of the heavy lifting was his role in Palembang’s dynasty, helping them to three pennants and their first two APB titles. Husin barely missed the 66% requirement with 65.4% and 62.0% in his first two ballots. A weak 2040 group with no standouts helped Husin get the bump up to 75.7% for a third ballot nod. He’s one of the weaker players to stand alone in a class, but Husin regardless can call himself an APB Hall of Famer.
