Beltrán, Jones Lead Public Ballots Ahead of Tonight’s Hall of Fame Reveal

Jeff Kent is already part of the Class of 2026 via the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee.

Overview

  • MLB Network will announce the BBWAA results tonight at 6 p.m. ET following a 4 p.m. preview show.
  • With just over half of ballots public, Ryan Thibodaux’s tracker shows Carlos Beltrán near 89% and Andruw Jones in the low-to-mid 80s, both above the 75% threshold on revealed votes.
  • Final outcomes remain uncertain because support often dips on non-public ballots compared with public tracking.
  • Beltrán’s support has climbed despite his link to the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing case, rising from 46.5% in 2023 to 70.3% in 2025 on the BBWAA ballot.
  • Chase Utley is tracking around the high-60s, Andy Pettitte and Félix Hernández sit in the mid-to-high 50s, and Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramírez remain well short in the 30–40% range.
