Hall of Fame Tracker Puts Beltrán on the Brink as BBWAA Reveal Approaches

Early public data plus simulations signal a clear front-runner before private ballots set the final order.

Overview

  • The 2026 BBWAA results will be announced Jan. 20 at 6 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
  • With 158 public ballots logged, Carlos Beltrán sits at 89.2% in the tracker and Sardell’s modeling puts his election probability near 100%.
  • Andruw Jones is at 82.9% on disclosed ballots and clears 75% in roughly three-quarters of simulations, though tracker totals often dip on the final count.
  • Chase Utley has risen to 66.5% on tracked votes, while projections suggest a finish in the low-to-mid 60s with future eligibility remaining.
  • Félix Hernández (57.0% with 30 returning-voter flips) and Andy Pettitte (57.6% with 22 flips) show the biggest gains, as Cole Hamels leads first-timers at 32.3% and is the only newcomer above 5%.
