Overview
- The public Ballot Tracker shows Carlos Beltrán at 88.4% and Andruw Jones at 83.0%, with historically tougher private ballots still to be counted.
- Voter discussions reflect the character clause, with Beltrán’s role in the Astros scandal and Jones’ 2012 arrest noted by some as factors.
- Players need 75% for induction, have up to 10 years of eligibility, and drop off the ballot if they fall below 5%.
- Chase Utley at 66.7%, Félix Hernández at 58.5%, and first-year candidate Cole Hamels at 32.0% are building support that suggests future consideration.
- Andy Pettitte is at 55.8% overall and 70% with first-time voters, while Alex Rodriguez at 47.6% and Manny Ramirez at 43.5% continue to face PED-related resistance.
