The defending Oceania Champion Sydney obliterated the Australasia League competition at 111-51, earning their third AL title in four years. The Snakes were now ten-time champs, remarkably with each title over the last 24 years (2018, 19, 22, 24, 25, 28, 29, 38, 40, 41). Sydney had OBA’s fewest runs allowed (514) and the best run differential (+225). Their pitching staff also set a new OBA team record with only 198 walks allowed.

Adelaide had a fine season, but were a distant second at 96-66. The Aardvarks have averaged 97 wins over their last four seasons, but their pennant drought grew to 40 seasons. Auckland was third (87-75) followed by Gold Coast (86-76) with the Avengers leading OBA with 758 runs. Hobart notably was 79-83, ending a nine-year run of winning seasons.

Adelaide RF Isitolo Nau narrowly won Australasia League MVP with 12 first place votes and 275 points. Sydney LF Sam Erickson was a close second with 10 first place votes and 260 points. Erickson notably led in home runs (44) and OPS (1.035). The winner Nau led in runs (113), hits (224), triples (41), total bases (389), and batting average (.344).

Nau’s 41 triples was the fourth-most in OBA history and one of only 23 seasons in world history of 40+. He holds the OBA record 44 from the prior year, one shy of the world record. Nau joined EBF’s Franco Gilbert and OBA’s David Odom as the only players in world history with multiple 40+ triple seasons. The 29-year old Tongan also had 29 doubles, 18 home runs, 107 RBI, 81 stolen bases, .950 OPS, 170 wRC+, and 7.4 WAR. Nau has two years left on his deal with the Aardvarks.

Pitcher of the Year was Sydney’s Dustin Wicker with 20 first place votes, while Hobart’s Howard Harley had the remaining four. The 25-year old New Zealander led in WHIP (0.81), K/BB (19.7), FIP- (51), and WAR (11.4). Wicker added a 2.17 ERA, 277.1 innings, 20-8 record, 165 ERA+, and 315 strikeouts. Unfortunately in mid-September, Wicker suffered a damaged elbow ligament and is expected to miss all of 2042. Still, the Snakes are optimistic that their young ace will rebound, giving him a five-year, $77 million extension.
