CC Sabathia’s anticipated election to the Baseball Hall of Fame will hopefully encourage people to think differently regarding the achievements of starting pitchers.

When the 2025 BBWAA Hall of Fame voting results are announced Tuesday night on MLB Network, there will be a double dose of drama:

We’re as competitive, hardworking, virtuous, nasty and corrupt as anything anywhere. Sometimes the good guys win, sometimes the bad guys do. You can see it all in the Hall.

This year’s voting results are set to be released Tuesday, with Carlos Beltrán, Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner among the nominees up for election.

CC Sabathia is expected to be part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, with the results of this year’s vote scheduled to be announced Tuesday evening.

To this point, only famed Yankee closer Mariano Rivera has been elected to the Hall of Fame unanimously — not Babe Ruth, not Hank Aaron, not Ken Griffey Jr. nor Derek Jeter, just Rivera. Could Suzuki be the second?

Alex Rodriguez is among the eight names that NJ.com sports columnist Steve Politi checked off on his Hall of Fame ballot.

Ichiro will go into the Hall of Fame as professional baseball’s all-time leader in hits with 4,367 (3,089 in MLB and 1,278 in Japan) — more even than Pete Rose's 4,256. He broke George Sisler’s single-season hits mark of 257 in 2004. The new mark is 262.

There’s nothing new to my 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, except the pleasure of voting for first-time eligibles Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia. Of the 28 players appearing on this year’s ballot, I checked six boxes.

On Tuesday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame will announce its newest class of inductees. Here at Royals Review, our writers took a look at the ballot and voted a few weeks ago. That’s just one of—what?
