Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia are the top players set to debut on the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, with both longtime stars likely to immediately earn enough votes to earn induction.
Suzuki and Sabathia each debuted in 2001, putting together remarkable MLB careers that lasted nearly 20 years. Suzuki racked up 3,089 hits in Major League Baseball after totaling 1,278 in Japan. Sabathia, the 2007 AL Cy Young winner, won 252 games and helped the New York Yankees win the 2009 World Series.
Suzuki and Sabathia join top holdovers Billy Wagner (73.8%), Andruw Jones (61.6%) and Carlos Beltran (57.1%) as candidates for induction in 2025. Wagner, who missed out by just five votes for 2024, will be making his 10th and final appearance on the ballot.
