2025 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot Features Ichiro, Zobrist, and Pedroia

The 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot has been announced, featuring 14 new candidates, including Ichiro Suzuki, a likely first-ballot inductee, and Ben Zobrist, known for his versatility and key role in the Chicago Cubs' 2016 World Series win. While Zobrist's career stats may not guarantee Hall of Fame induction, his impact as a "super utility" player and postseason success are notable. Other candidates like Billy Wagner, Andruw Jones, Carlos Beltran, and CC Sabathia are also in the spotlight.
