Last year, Fortaleza dominated the Southern Cone in the regular season at 117-45, but lost in the divisional round. The Foxes again rolled to the top seed in 2042 at 111-51 for a fifth straight North Division title. Fortaleza had Beisbol Sudamerica’s best post-break record at 47-19. They also had the best differential (+195) and a league-best 773 runs.

Belem was second in the North Division at 98-64, the first playoff trip for the 2029 expansion Blue Crabs. They notably had 127 team triples, the best in league history and second-most in BSA history. Belem was actually only 1.5 back on Fortaleza at the break but couldn’t match the second half pace. As seeding doesn’t give preference to division champs, the Blue Crabs finished tied for the #2 seed with Rio de Janeiro. However, the Redbirds had the head-to-head tiebreaker.

The defending Copa Sudamerica champ Rio was close to even with Curitiba and Montevideo for much of the year in the Southeast Division. The Redbirds had the top finish to get to 98-64 and allowed the league’s fewest runs at 575. Rio de Janeiro’s playoff streak grew to seven seasons. The Carnivores and Venom ended up tied for the second wild card at 92-70.

The tiebreaker game in Uruguay went ten innings with a 3-2 Curitiba win, getting a solo homer from Benni Alvares to lead off the inning. This was also Curitiba’s first-ever playoff berth, which leaves the Bolivar League’s Cochabamba and Maracay as the only teams from the 2029 expansion without a berth through 14 seasons.

Valparaiso and Santiago were near even at the break in the South Central Division and in the mix for the top seed. The Voodoo were a decent 34-29 after the break, but the Saints struggled to 27-37 and finished second at 86-76. Valparaiso at 94-68 won its sixth straight division crown. Asuncion, a wild card last year, fell to fourth at 79-83.

For the second time in three years, Fortaleza LF Mauricio Fernandez earned Southern Cone League MVP. He was one vote short of a unanimous win as he led in OBP (.417), slugging (.685), OPS (1.101), wRC+ (189), and WAR (9.4). The 28-year old Venezuelan lefty had 203 hits, 132 runs, 23 doubles, 51 home runs, 123 RBI, and .354 average. Fernandez is signed through 2048 with the Foxes.

Belem righty Wederson Hinojosa won Pitcher of the Year unanimously and had one MVP vote. In his ninth season, the 29-year old Paraguayan righty led in wins (21-6), strikeouts (37), FIP- (46), and WAR (11.0). Hinojosa had a 1.91 ERA, missing the ERA title by two points to Asuncion’s Homer Andrade. In 254.2 innings, Hinojosa had a 200 ERA+ and 0.85 WHIP. His WAR was only the 48^th season by a BSA pitcher at 11+ and he was only the fifth to do it in the 21^st Century.

Curitiba opened the first round with a 5-0 road upset of Valparaiso, but the Voodoo bounced back on 11-5 and 6-3 wins. In the Divisional Round, Fortaleza bested Valparaiso 10-5 in game one, but the Voodoo countered 6-4. Valparaiso then won 6-2 and 2-1, clinching the series on a walkoff sacrifice fly. For back-to-back years, the Foxes failed to advance despite the top seed. The Voodoo also secured a fifth straight trip to the Southern Cone Championship.

Belem won 5-2 in the road opener against Rio de Janeiro. The Redbirds took narrow 2-1 and 4-3 wins after that and clinched 9-2 in game four. Rio earned its fourth LCS trip in six years to set up a rematch with Valparaiso. The Redbirds won 4-3 last year and 4-1 in 2039 over the Voodoo. Valparaiso has fallen in three straight years, but won the 2038 crown over Fortaleza.

Game one was tied 1-1 after nine innings, then both scored once in the tenth. Two singles and an error allowed for a run in the 11^th for Valparaiso to take a 3-2 road win. The Voodoo got a 3-0 win in game two, then took the next two in Chile by 3-2 and 9-3 margins to dethrone the reigning Cup champ. It was the first sweep in the Southern Cone Championship since 2031. 1B Augusto Pereira was series MVP going 5-16 with two homers, four runs, and three RBI.
