MLB Hall of Fame 2025: Who's In, Who's Out?

The 2025 MLB Hall of Fame ballot results are in, and several players are hoping to hear their names called. Here's a look at the results and what they mean for the future of the Hall of Fame.

Ichiro Suzuki is the only unanimous selection, while CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, Andruw Jones, and Carlos Beltran all came close. Willie Mays, as a comparison, is credited with 185 fielding runs (second highest among center fielders) -- but Mays also played many more innings. On a per-inning basis, Jones comes out almost twice as good as Mays. Twice as good as Willie Mays?! Sounds skeptical. When digging into the numbers, an interesting thing is that for most of Jones' career as a center fielder, Braves' left fielders -- first Ryan Klesko and then Chipper Jones for a couple years -- had unusually low range factors. It seems likely Jones was taking all the either/or plays away from the left fielders, pushing up his putout totals. Since the Total Zone metric is an estimate, that gives him some eye-popping fielding numbers early in his career.
