The anticipation is building as the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame voting results are set to be unveiled this Tuesday evening.

This year’s reveal comes after the induction of legends Dave Parker and Dick Allen via the Era Committee last month, making this announcement the highly-anticipated BBWAA portion.

Ichiro Suzuki: A Guaranteed Induction?

Ichiro Suzuki is virtually assured a spot in this year’s Hall of Fame class. In a stunning indication of support, every published ballot thus far has included his name, tracking at an impressive 100%.

While a unanimous induction remains a hot topic, predictions suggest he will fall just short of joining Mariano Rivera as the only player to achieve that feat.

Most forecasts place Ichiro above 99%, keeping the suspense alive for fans and voters alike.

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, January 21, at 6 PM ET.

Fans can catch all the live action unveiling on MLB Network or stream the event through Fubo (with a free trial option) and MLB.TV.

Spotlight on CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner

Among the more intriguing aspects of this year’s vote is the candidacy of CC Sabathia. As of the latest updates, he has appeared on 92.5% of public ballots.

However, history suggests that private ballots, typically from more traditional voters, might skew lower.

Despite this, it’s unlikely Sabathia will drop by more than 17 percentage points from his current standing, positioning him as a likely inductee alongside Ichiro, Parker, and Allen.

Billy Wagner is also making headlines as he approaches his 10th and final year on the ballot.

Last year, he received 73.8% of the vote and is currently tracking at 85.4%. If past patterns hold true, Wagner could need only an additional five votes to make it across the finish line in his final attempt.

Rising Stars and Possible Future Inductees

Carlos Beltrán is emerging as another strong candidate, currently tracking at 81.1%. If last year's trend continues, he could be on the brink of induction in the near future as ballots appear thinner next year.

Meanwhile, Andruw Jones stands at 72.6%, but the consensus suggests he may have to wait until 2027 for his shot at enshrinement, especially with a significant drop noted last year.

Conversely, former superstars Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez seem to be losing momentum.

Rodriguez is tracking at 40.1%, while Ramirez sits at 35.8%. Both players are unlikely to see significant increases as they continue in the voting process.

Additional Watch List

There are players who are gaining support, like Chase Utley with a tracking percentage of 51.9%, and Andy Pettitte, who is seeing a modest increase.

However, several other names like Bobby Abreu and Félix Hernández appear to be holding steady above the 5% threshold needed to remain on the ballot.

Final Predictions

As we look forward to the reveal, our final predictions suggest that Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner will be among this year’s inductees, setting the stage for a ceremony rich in celebration for fans and players alike!
