NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter appears to be a lock for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame next summer, but the captain is far from the only player with Yankees ties appearing on the ballots that will be distributed this week.

Jeter headlined a group of 18 players whose candidacies will be evaluated for the first time by eligible members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, along with 14 holdovers. Last year, former Yankees Mariano Rivera and Mike Mussina were among the inductees, joined by Edgar Martinez and the late Roy Halladay.

Candidates must be named on 75 percent of ballots cast by selected BBWAA members with 10 or more consecutive years of MLB coverage to gain election. Here are the others on the ballot who have worn the pinstripes:

Bobby Abreu (Yankees 2006-08): The sweet-swinging outfielder played for six teams during his 18-year career, spending half of it with the Phillies, and was part of the 2008 Yankees squad that helped close the original Yankee Stadium. Abreu hit .295/.378/.465 with 43 homers and 243 RBIs in 372 games for the Bombers.

Eric Chavez (Yankees 2011-12): A six-time Gold Glove Award winner and a Silver Slugger recipient during his time with the A's, Chavez enjoyed two seasons as a role player in The Bronx, then returned to the club briefly as a member of general manager Brian Cashman’s staff early in his retirement.

Roger Clemens (Yankees 1999-2003, ’07): “The Rocket” was acquired from the Blue Jays in a blockbuster trade prior to the 1999 season and went 77-36 with a 3.99 ERA in 157 starts through his first five seasons with New York, earning two All-Star selections and two World Series rings. After three seasons with the Astros, Clemens returned to pitch in 18 more games for New York late in the 2007 season. This is Clemens’ eighth year on the ballot; he received 59.5 percent of votes in 2019. 

Jason Giambi (Yankees 2002-08): “The Giambino” started his career with the shaggy-haired, rockstar A’s, then visited a barber before trying on the Yankees pinstripes. Signed to a seven-year, $120 million deal, the big-swinging Giambi produced a .260/.404/.521 slash line with 209 homers and 604 RBIs over 897 games in New York, earning three All-Star selections. The 2000 American League MVP retired with 440 homers and 1,441 RBIs across 20 seasons. 

Raúl Ibañez (Yankees 2012): The 19-year veteran played for five teams in his career, spending 11 seasons with the Mariners, but he left a mark during his Yankees cameo. Ibañez began swinging a red-hot bat in September, then hit three postseason homers -- featuring a two-homer performance in Game 3 of the AL Division Series that included a walk-off blast.

Andruw Jones (Yankees 2011-12): Though he wasn’t the fleet-footed outfielder of his Braves days, Jones enjoyed some productive moments as he spent his final two big league seasons in New York, as well as a close relationship with Jeter and other veterans on the squad. Jones hit 27 of his 434 big league homers for the Yanks. This is Jones’ third year on the ballot; he received 7.5 percent of votes in 2019.

Andy Pettitte (Yankees 1995-2003, 2007-10, 2012-13): One of the most reliable big-game pitchers of his generation, Pettitte pitched 15 of his 18 seasons with the Yankees, going 219-127 with a 3.94 ERA in 447 games (438 starts). The franchise leader in strikeouts (2,020), Pettitte is a five-time World Series champion and won the clinching games in 1998, 2000 and '09. This is Pettitte’s second year on the ballot; he received 9.9 percent of votes in 2019.  

Brian Roberts (Yankees 2014): After spending his first 13 seasons with the Orioles, Roberts finished his career as Jeter’s double-play partner, appearing in 91 games with the Bombers. Roberts was a two-time All-Star with Baltimore, compiling a career .276/.347/.409 slash line across 1,418 games.

Gary Sheffield (Yankees 2004-06): One of the game’s most intimidating sluggers and a member of the 500-homer club, Sheffield played three of his 22 seasons in The Bronx, batting .291/.383/.515 with 76 home runs and 269 RBIs in 347 games. This is Sheffield’s sixth year on the ballot; he received 13.6 percent of votes in 2019.

Alfonso Soriano (Yankees 1999-2003, 2013-14): Soriano’s big bat forced the Yankees to find a place for him in their everyday lineup, then enticed the Rangers as the centerpiece of the trade that installed Alex Rodriguez as the Yanks’ third baseman. Soriano returned to New York to complete his career, hitting .276/.315/.492 with 121 homers and 343 RBIs across his two stints.
