Puebla had the top record in Mexico in 1913, winning the South division at 95-67 and dethroning Merida (92-70). The North had its third winner in three years as Tijuana took first at 91-71, beating out Mexicali (88-74).


Defending league champ Juarez limped to 75-87 despite having pitcher of the year Nick Bermea, a 23-year old American whom the Jesters purchased from San Francisco. Ecatepec first baseman Manny Arroyo again won MVP, although his .337/.391./.562 line; all league leading; wasn’t enough to get the Explosion a winning record.


In the Caribbean League, Havana again had the best record in CABA with a 115-47 mark. Jamaica finished above 100 wins for the second time, but the Jazz’ 107-55 couldn’t keep up with the Hurricanes. After no winning records in 1912, the Continental division had one solid team with Panama placing 91-71.


Havana’s Baptiste Timothee won his second pitcher of the year, finishing first in ERA (1.44), wins (22), WHIP (0.77) and second in strikeouts (339). Puerto Rico’s Jhoyce Hidrovo was MVP with a league best 1.000 OPS and 12.2 WAR added by great defense at shortstop.


The Parrots gave the Hurricanes a decent run, but Havana claimed the Caribbean title in seven games. The Toros topped the Pumas in six games for the Mexican title and Tijuana would unseat the Hurricanes as the CABA champ, winning in six games. Outfielder Jeison Miranda won series MVP, hitting nine home runs with 19 RBI over 12 playoff games.
