New Candidates on the Ballot<\/h2>\n\n\nAmong the 12 players debuting on the ballot, names like Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp stand out. Also joining the list are Howie Kendrick, Daniel Murphy, and Rick Porcello, along with Shin-Soo Choo, Edwin Encarnaci\u00f3n, Gio Gonz\u00e1lez, Alex Gordon, Nick Markakis, and Hunter Pence.\n\n\n

Cole Hamels, lanzador que lanz\u00f3 un juego sin hits en 2015 contra los Cubs, junto con Ryan Braun y Matt Kemp, son algunos de los 12 nuevos candidatos en la boleta del Sal\u00f3n de la Fama.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nCarlos Beltr\u00e1n leads the 15 players returning to the ballot, seeking to obtain the necessary votes after falling 19 votes short of election in 2025.\n\n

The Case of Carlos Beltr\u00e1n<\/h2>\n\nBeltr\u00e1n, a nine-time All-Star, batted .279 with 435 home runs and 1,587 RBIs over 20 seasons with several teams. In the 2025 vote, he received 70.3% of the votes, with 277 of 394 possible.\n\nIn his first appearance on the ballot in 2023, Beltr\u00e1n obtained 46.5% support, a figure that rose to 57.1% in his second attempt.\n\nIt should be noted that Beltr\u00e1n was the only player mentioned in the 2020 report by baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, which concluded that the Astros used electronic devices to steal signs during their path to the 2017 World Series title and in the 2018 season. This fact generated controversy and had repercussions on his career as a manager.\n\n\n

Other Outstanding Candidates<\/h2>\n\n\nOther notable players on the ballot include Alex Rodr\u00edguez and Manny Ram\u00edrez, who have been involved in steroid-related controversies. Also present are Andruw Jones, Chase Utley, Andy Pettitte, F\u00e9lix Hern\u00e1ndez, Bobby Abreu, Jimmy Rollins, Omar Vizquel, Dustin Pedroia, Mark Buehrle, Francisco Rodr\u00edguez, David Wright, and Torii Hunter.\n\nAndy Pettitte, in his eighth appearance on the ballot, has doubled his support from 13.5% in 2024.\n\nBBWAA members with 10 or more consecutive years of membership are eligible to vote. Ballots must be submitted before December 31, and the results will be announced on January 20.\n\nAny person chosen will be inducted on July 26 along with anyone chosen on December 7 by the ballot of the contemporary era baseball committee, which considers eight players whose greatest contributions to the sport were from 1980 onwards.\n\nCole Hamels, a four-time All-Star, had a 163-122 record with a 3.43 ERA for several teams. He threw a no-hitter for the Phillies against the Cubs on July 25, 2015. He was MVP of the National League Championship Series and the 2008 World Series, when Philadelphia won its second title, the first since 1980.\n\nBraun, the 2011 MVP and six-time All-Star, batted .296 with 352 home runs and 1,154 RBIs for Milwaukee from 2007 to 2020. He was suspended for the final 65 games of the 2013 season for violations of the drug program and baseball’s labor contract.\n\nKemp, a three-time All-Star, hit .284 with 287 home runs and 1,031 RBIs for several teams.\n\nBarry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, and Dale Murphy are being considered by the contemporary era committee, along with Carlos Delgado, Jeff Kent, Gary Sheffield, and Fernando Valenzuela.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
