Curt Schilling is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the 10th and final time this year after falling just short last year with 71.1 percent of the vote. It’s time to take a deeper look at his numbers as a player (which is what the voters should do) to see if he has a legitimate case.
Jeff Kent is on the ballot for the ninth time this year. He managed to get to 32.4 percent last year and would need a huge boost to make the 75 percent needed. Is he Cooperstown worthy?
Manny Ramirez is on the ballot for the sixth time this year. He stayed stagnant on the ballot last year, earning 28.2 percent of the vote, the same percentage he earned on the 2020 ballot. Will he get enough support even through his controversies to get in?
Over the last few years, Tanner Houck has been key to the Boston Red Sox’s success. The former first-round pick made his MLB debut two years ago and has excelled regardless of the role.
Omar Vizquel is on the ballot for the fifth year. While he started out great, he saw his support wane as he went from 52.6 percent in 2019 to 49.1 percent last year. Let’s take a look at his chances for Cooperstown.
Andy Pettitte is on the ballot for the fourth year. He has been inching up going from 9.9 percent in his first year to 11.3 and then to 13.7 last year. Will he make it to Cooperstown?
Scott Rolen is on the ballot for the fifth time this year and has made some significant gains. Can he make another big push to get in this year?
Wagner’s time seems to be running out but with four years more on the ballot and nearly a 30 percent increase over the last three years, can he make a push for induction in the last part of his candidacy?
Drafted in the sixth round in 2019, Wesneski struggled after turning pro. However, he roared back to a huge campaign, reaching AAA with an impressive strikeout rate and a 3.25 ERA across three separate levels. Carter LaCorte had an opportunity to chat with the right-hander about the transition.
Bobby Abreu is on the ballot for the third time after garnering 8.7 percent of the vote last year. While it was just a slight improvement, he should see some strides toward enshrinement soon.
In the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft, the Boston Red Sox selected Blaze Jordan with the 89th overall pick. The Mississippi native was one of the top high school power bats and youngest players in his class.
In 2021, Kevin Kopps was named the best player in college baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Less than a year later, he was taken by the San Diego Padres in the third round of the MLB Draft. While the last few months have been full of change, the Texas native has excelled everywhere he has pitched.
