With all the ballots for this year’s Hall of Fame vote having been turned in, the only thing left to do now is wait for the results to be unveiled.

The 2025 Baseball Writers’ Association of America Hall of Fame ballot was released on Monday. It is headlined by one of baseball's best hitters (Ichiro Suzuki), one of its best starting pitchers (CC Sabathia) and one of its best closers (Billy Wagner), each of whom could be in the same

Sluggers Dick Allen and Dave Parker earned election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday in voting from the Classic Baseball Era Committee. The announcement was made from the Winter Meetings in Dallas. Needing at least 12 votes of the 16 committee members (75% required), Allen received 13

In less than 10 days, we’ll find out who the Baseball Writers’ Association of America has elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, joining Classic Era Committee electees Dick Allen and Dave Parker. Thanks to Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame ballot tracker, we can keep up

This year’s Hall of Fame election results will be revealed on Tuesday, with Ichiro Suzuki expected to glide into Cooperstown with an overwhelming amount of support.

Some Hall of Fame candidates are no-doubt picks, cruising into Cooperstown on the first ballot. Other cases aren't so simple, requiring years of debate, hand-wringing, and consternation, as supporters try to change minds, and doubters dig in their heels. Sometimes progress is incremental, and sometimes it comes all at once.

SEATTLE -- If Ichiro Suzuki is elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday -- which he could potentially do as the first position player with a unanimous vote -- it’s widely expected that when he’s enshrined this July, his plaque will feature him in a Mariners cap.

It’s that time of the year again: Which likely Hall of Famers can you expect to see play live and in person in the Major Leagues in 2025? We’ve been doing this since at least 2016, at which point we noted that some young stars who had been in the

A pitcher hasn't been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame from the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot since Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay and Mike Mussina made the cut in 2019. Not since 1956 to '61 -- during a period in which the BBWAA cast votes in only even-numbered

Félix Hernández’s name is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, bringing with it one of the more polarizing Cooperstown cases in recent history. Hernández, who spent his 15-year career with the Mariners from 2005-19, is widely regarded as one of the best pitchers of his era.

There are 14 new players up for election to the Hall of Fame this year, and while they won't all end up in Cooperstown, each had at least one Hall of Fame-quality season.

Now in his third year on the Hall of Fame ballot -- after registering a solid 46.5 percent of the vote in his first go-round and seeing a spike to 57.1 percent last year -- Carlos Beltrán's candidacy remains rather polarizing. On merit alone, the longtime center fielder has one

When a baseball player reaches the pinnacle of the sport, a place in Cooperstown, his Hall of Fame plaque does not discriminate. If that player spent 20 seasons with a team, it gets listed under his name; if a player spent 20 games with a team, it also gets listed.

After receiving 28.8% of the vote in his first year on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America Hall of Fame ballot, six-time All-Star second baseman Chase Utley is up for consideration for the second time in 2025. Admittedly, Utley seems to be facing an uphill climb toward eventual enshrinement in

Andruw Jones is in his eighth year on the Hall of Fame ballot, and he has a compelling case for election into Cooperstown. Jones’ defensive prowess in center field and power at the plate during his peak helped put him in the conversation with some of the best we’ve seen

Of the three players revealed as the newest Hall of Famers last year, two (Todd Helton of the Rockies and Joe Mauer of the Twins) spent their entire Major League careers with a single team. But that sort of an accomplishment is not the norm, even for all-time greats. Any

Billy Wagner is in his 10th and final year on the Hall of Fame ballot. He has one last chance, and he's so close. Wagner got 73.8% of the vote last year. He needs 75% to get into Cooperstown. He's made big gains on the ballot in recent years, and

David Wright's Hall of Fame case, like his playing career, is largely overshadowed by questions of what could have been. But bad luck doesn't tell his entire story, which is why he wasn't one-and-done on the ballot. One of the best third basemen of his era in his nine-year prime,

Baseball is the best. At times, baseball is also kooky. The 14 newcomers on the 2025 Hall of Fame ballot can testify to that. In celebration of these Cooperstown candidates, let’s look back at one fun moment from each player’s career.

There are two main ways to assess a ballplayer's Hall of Fame worthiness: career value and peak value. While a player's career WAR should be taken into account, it's important to compare how players performed while at their individual bests. That's especially true for some players on the 2025 ballot.

It's not difficult to make the case against Bobby Abreu for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just a cursory look at his Baseball-Reference page provides you with all the evidence you need. Only two All-Star selections. One Silver Slugger Award. No top-10 finishes in MVP voting. Very little bold type.

Félix Hernández, eligible for the Hall of Fame for the first time this year, sits in the middle of an inflection point in baseball history. With 169 wins, a 3.42 ERA, a single Cy Young win, and a career that was essentially finished by age 30, he doesn’t measure up
