The Baseball Hall of Fame has officially announced the ballot for the upcoming election, featuring 12 newcomers, including notable players like Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp. Alongside these new entries, 15 holdovers such as Carlos Beltrán continue to vie for induction. The ballot includes former stars like Alex Rodriguez and Shin-Soo Choo, as well as former Cy Young winners, providing fans and voters with a diverse list of candidates. This year’s voting is highly anticipated as several of the nominees have compelling cases for inclusion in Cooperstown.
