First timers include
  • Cole Hamels
  • Ryan Braun
  • Matt Kemp
  • Howie Kendrick
  • Daniel Murphy
  • Rick Porcello
  • Shin-Soo Choo
  • Edwin Encarnación
  • Gio González
  • Alex Gordon
  • Nick Markakis
  • Hunter Pence
Not exactly anyone who I think could be elected this year. Someone like Hamels could in a couple of years and possibly the same with Pence but I dont see a true shoe in this year for the new players. Of holder overs from last year Beltrán received 277 of 394 votes for 70.3% so he could def secure the last few votes he needs to hit the 75% threshold. Same with Andruw Jones 261 of 394 for 66.2%.

I don’t think any of those players are hall of fame worthy.

I feel like Hamels has the best argument amongst this group but currently has a 57 hall of fame monitor score. Only two pitchers ever have gotten in with a lower score and they were both in the Negro leagues and were both also position players.
Hopefully Beltran makes it. He deserves it.

What is Andruw Jones' score? I feel like his career was pretty great for a while in the 90s and beginning of 2000s but could be mistaken.

  1. There are a bunch of guys below him that have gotten in but a lot of guys around that number that haven't so seems like a possibility but not a lock.
Beltran is at 126. There are only a few guys above that that are not in so seems likely he will get in at some point.
Ohtani is already at 124 just for batting. Haha

I could see him then making the cut with Beltran... one of those things that voters seem to want to add people every year now esp. since they cleaned up the ballots.
That Ohtani stat is wilddddd
