The outcomes of voting for the 2026 Baseball Corridor of Fame class will probably be revealed Tuesday night. We already know that Jeff Kent was elected by the Period Committee final month, so this reveal is the BBWAA portion. Who will be part of him? 

The prediction right here is that solely Carlos Beltrán will probably be voted in, although it is doable that Andruw Jones additionally will get over the required 75% threshold. As a reminder, gamers getting a minimum of 75% of the vote will probably be inducted into the Corridor of Fame and people getting a minimum of 5% of the vote can hold round on the poll for a minimum of yet another 12 months, as much as 10 years on the poll. Gamers getting lower than 5% of the vote or failing to achieve 75% in 10 tries fall off the poll earlier than the following cycle.

To reiterate, my prediction is that Beltrán will make it whereas Jones will come very shut. A-Rod will not be shut and Manny Ramirez will fall off the poll. I am going to break these down in a second. First, this is learn how to tune in:

Beltrán is in his fourth 12 months on the poll and he obtained 70.3% of the vote final 12 months. With a comparatively weak poll this time round, it needs to be easy crusing. And it seems to be like it’s. Due to Ryan Thibodaux and his group monitoring public ballots, we all know that Beltrán has been named on 89% of the ballots to this point. Usually talking, most gamers see a dip from the recognized public ballots as soon as the complete outcomes are revealed, however Beltrán misplaced 10.2 proportion factors final 12 months and that is sufficient cushion to maintain him above the required 75%. 

You may argue I am not being bullish sufficient on Jones, utilizing the identical information. He is monitoring at 83.9% proper now and final 12 months misplaced 6.2 factors between the recognized ballots and the ultimate outcomes. If issues head on the same path, he’d make it (83.9 minus 6.2 is 77.7). 

The 2 largest names on the poll are Alex Rodríguez and Manny Ramírez. The PED suspensions they served throughout their careers are holding them again. A-Rod obtained 37.1% of the vote final 12 months and is monitoring at 42.7% this time. It is his fifth 12 months on the poll. As for Manny, that is his tenth and remaining try to he is monitoring at 39.9%. 

Concerning the remainder of the poll, let’s take a fast look: 

• Chase Utley seems to have some actual momentum. He went from 28.8% to 39.8% in his first two years. That is his third and he is monitoring at 67.9% of the vote (he misplaced 11.8 factors final 12 months on the reveal, however we’re nonetheless speaking about him possible touchdown within the mid-50s). There is a respectable likelihood he’ll make it within the subsequent few years.
• Félix Hernández has nice momentum in his second time on the poll. He debuted with 20.6% final 12 months and he is monitoring at 56.9% proper now. He solely misplaced 2.9 factors on the reveal final 12 months, too, so this bodes very effectively for him. Andy Pettitte can also be monitoring at 56.9%, however he is now in his eighth 12 months and often loses slightly extra when the outcomes are revealed. Whereas we’re right here, fellow beginning pitcher Mark Buehrle is monitoring at 23.4% of the vote and he obtained solely 11.4% final 12 months. Perhaps these of us hoping for extra beginning pitcher love for this era of pitcher are making progress.
• Cole Hamels, one other beginning pitcher, seems to be to be making a good debut. It is his first 12 months and he is monitoring at 31.7% of the vote. He is possible the one first-year participant on the poll who will advance to the 2027 poll. Ryan Braun has the next-highest vote whole at six. No, not six p.c. Six votes. No different first-timer has greater than two votes.
• Bobby Abreu is on the poll for the seventh time and hasn’t but reached 20%, however he is monitoring at 39% and solely misplaced 4 factors on the reveal final 12 months, so he could be establishing for a late surge like Larry Walker had. He is one to look at.
• Dustin Pedroia, David Wright and Jimmy Rollins are a trio of infielders who could be working out the clock in poll purgatory with Abreu, however possibly there’s some hope? No less than a sliver? Pedroia obtained 11.9% of the vote in his first attempt final 12 months and is monitoring at 26.1% (he solely misplaced 3 factors on the reveal final 12 months). Rollins obtained 18% of the vote in his fourth attempt final 12 months and is now monitoring at 24.8%. Wright obtained 8.1% of the vote final 12 months in his second try to is monitoring at 20.2% this time round.
• Nearer Francisco Rodríguez hasn’t gotten greater than 10.8% of the vote in his three tries to this point. He is monitoring at 11.5%. 
• Omar Vizquel is simply enjoying out the clock. He is in his ninth 12 months and is monitoring at 11.5% of the vote. He is a uncommon case the place the vote proportion often finally ends up greater as soon as the outcomes are revealed (he rose 5.6% final 12 months), however there’s actually no hope for him.
• Torii Hunter continues his dance with 5%. He stayed on the poll by lower than a handful of votes final 12 months. He is been named on 5.5% of the ballots recognized to this point and he is not out of the woods but.
