The results of voting for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class will be revealed Tuesday evening. We already know that Dave Parker and Dick Allen were inducted via the Era Committee last month, so this reveal is the BBWAA portion.

To this point, only famed Yankee closer Mariano Rivera has been elected to the Hall of Fame unanimously — not Babe Ruth, not Hank Aaron, not Ken Griffey Jr. nor Derek Jeter, just Rivera. Could Suzuki be the second?

NEW YORK – There’s nothing new to my 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, except the pleasure of voting for first-time eligibles Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia. Of the 28 players appearing on this year’s ballot, I checked six boxes. Ichiro, with his all-around brilliance, ought to be unanimous.

Ichiro Suzuki is all about baseball, but he's much more than that in Japan. Back home, he's a wellspring of national pride, much like Shohei Ohtani now. His triumphs across the Pacific buoyed the nation as Japan's economy sputtered through the so-called lost decades of the 1990s and into the 2000s.

CC Sabathia’s anticipated election to the Baseball Hall of Fame will hopefully encourage people to think differently regarding the achievements of starting pitchers.

Next summer’s Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony could have a Yankees’ flavor with right fielder Ichiro Suzuki and pitcher CC Sabathia tracking to be voted in with ease as first-year candidates, and outfielder Carlos Beltran also above the necessary 75 percent threshold.

Beltran has seen a huge jump in support among the publicly availably ballots. Seventeen voters who did not check his box in 2024 have changed their minds and cast votes for him in 2025. He has gained 16 votes in all, which includes one lost vote from a previous Beltran voter.

As MLB Network prepares comprehensive coverage from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Kenny explained what makes the event special.

That’s why it was immediate to check his name when my ninth Baseball Hall of Fame ballot arrived. This year’s ballot has a decided Mariners feel between Ichiro and Félix Hernández, and I voted for both.
