The Baseball Hall of Fame opened its doors for an illustrious four-person class last January. Now, this year's aspiring inductees — featuring first-timers and ballot veterans — await their fate.
This year's Hall of Fame announcement will take place at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
First-timers comprise half of the 28-person ballot, with Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia two primary candidates to become first-ballot inductees. Ichiro has an opportunity to join Mariano Rivera as MLB's only unanimous Hall of Famer.
Elsewhere, Billy Wagner looks to crack the Hall of Fame in his 10th and final year on the ballot; Wagner fell just a couple votes shy of induction in 2024.
Among the other returning players, Andruw Jones (61.6%) and Carlos Beltran (57.1%) received the most votes of any player not inducted into the Hall of Fame on last year's ballot.
