Carlos Beltrán and the Curaçao Kid - 2026 BBWAA HOF Ballot
Friday, 16 January, 2026
2026 BBWAA HOF BallotIn a bit of a surprise, the Contemporary Era Committee selected Jeff Kent to the Hall of Fame last month. He will join the likes of Rogers Hornsby, Nellie Fox, Joe Morgan, Ryne Sandberg, Jackie Robinson, and other MVP second baseman to earn enshrinement (Jose Altuve will join this list in the future, though another player on this year’s writers’ ballot is a long shot.) Dale Murphy, Carlos Delgado, and Don Mattingly all received more than six votes, and the rest of the candidates received fewer than five, meaning they are ineligible to be on the next ballot in three years. For Clemens, Bonds, and Sheffield, that result was not too surprising given their alleged PED use.This coming Tuesday, January 20th, the results from the BBWAA ballot will be revealed, and we will find out who will join Jeff Kent in Cooperstown this year. Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones appear to be in strong position for election this year. Chase Utley and Felix Hernández are the big climbers, and Cole Hamels looks to haver a strong debut on the ballot. We will break down the candidacies (or lack thereof) for the newcomers to the ballot, as well as our predictions for who, if any, will make it this year.Audio clips from MLB.tvHowie Kendrick’s Clutch Homers - WJFK Eats Radio - Dave Jageler and Charlie SlowesAlex Gordon’s WS HR - FOX - Hall of Fame Joe Buck, Tom VerducciEdwin Encarnacion’s Walk-off - TBS - Ernie JohnsonAs always, shout out to Baseball Reference and SABR for statistics, box scores, background information, and much, much more.Catch you next time,P.C.O.
