Carlos Beltrán, a former MLB outfielder, is on track to potentially be voted into the Hall of Fame next year. Despite falling 19 votes short of the required 75% for induction in his third year on the ballot, Beltrán is in a favorable position to make it eventually, given the maximum 10-year eligibility. With a ballot open for next year and no expected first-ballot inductees, Beltrán could be a strong contender for induction.
Another center fielder, Andruw Jones, saw an increase in approval rating from 61.6% to 66.2% this year, positioning him as a potential candidate for next year. However, with only two years left on the ballot, Jones may need a more significant increase to secure induction.
