Will it be the second unanimous admission of the Hall of Fame in Major League history? Suzuki Ichiro has received all the votes that have been made public so far.먹튀검증
Voters belonging to the American Baseball Journalists Association (BBWAA) will vote for the 2025 Hall of Fame until January 1, 2025 (Korea time).
Some of them are being made public. The results of 44 votes out of a total of 388 were disclosed as of Thursday morning. This is equivalent to 11.9 percent.
Ichiro received all 44 votes that were open to the public. He received 100 percent of the vote. CC Sabathia received 91.3 percent, followed by Billy Wagner with 87 percent.
When the Major League Hall of Fame seeks to win the election by voting by its reporters, it must exceed 75 percent of the vote. The Major League Hall of Fame has 10 chances to win. If it wins less than 5 percent of the vote, it will be disenfranchised.
Aiming at unanimity, Ichiro burst onto the Major League stage in 2001 at the age of 28. He is still very late, then and now.
However, Ichiro shocked the Major League by winning the American League Rookie of the Year and MVP right after his debut in 2001.
At the time, Ichiro became the best hitter with a batting average of 0.35 and 242 hits, and 56 steals. He made it clear that Japan's best hitter is also the best in the Major League.
Ichiro then set a new record for the most hits in a single season with 262 hits in 2004, and won the All-Star selection and the Gold Glove Award for the 10th consecutive year from 2001 to 2010.
Dan Ichiro has seen his skills decline since 2011. As a result, he has never been named an All-Star since 2010. He has never won a Gold Glove award.
Since then, Ichiro has played until 2019, when he was 46 years old, and has a batting average of 0.311 with 117 home runs, 780 RBIs and 3089 hits in 2,653 games in the major leagues, and an on-base percentage of 0.355 OPS of 0.757.
It is surprising that the Japanese pro baseball player, who had its best season in the Japanese league, achieved 3,000 hits after entering the Major League at the age of late 20s.
As a result, Ichiro's chances of joining the Hall of Fame are close to 100 percent. The question is whether he will get 100 percent of the vote. Mariano Rivera is the only one who got 100 percent of the vote in 2019.
Sabathia, who also acquired the first opportunity with Ichiro, is highly likely to join the team. He has 250 wins, 3,500 innings and 3,000 strikeouts during his Cy Young Award career.
Wagner, the last chance, is also likely to join this time. Wagner won 73.8 percent of the 2024 Hall of Fame vote in January.
Wagner made his major league debut in 1995 and pitched 903 innings in 853 games in 16 seasons with 47-40-422 saves and a 2.31 strikeout average of 1196.
The results of the Hall of Fame vote will be announced on January 22, 2025. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held in Coopers Town, New York, on July 28, 2025.
