⚾ Will Chase Utley eventually find his way into Cooperstown? He is among the first timers who will appear on next year's ballot.
Todd Helton came the closest of any player on the 2023 ballot that did not get enshrined.
The longtime Colorado Rockies first baseman was voted in on 72.2% of ballots, keeping him 11 votes shy of the requisite 75% while also a significant climb from the 52% he received in 2022. If he makes another jump in his sixth year on the ballot, he could find himself in Cooperstown next summer. Billy Wagner , Andruw Jones and Gary Sheffield were the three other players to appear on more than 50% of 2023 ballots. Time is ticking for each of them, with Sheffield entering his 10th and final year of eligibility, Wagner entering his ninth and Jones entering his seventh.Carlos Beltran , Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez got the next-most votes in 2023, but they have a long way to go to potentially land in the Hall of Fame.
Omar Vizquel , Andy Pettitte , Bobby Abreu , Jimmy Rollins , Francisco Rodriguez , Mark Buehrle and Torii Hunter will also be back on the ballot in 2024 after staying above the 5% minimum threshold in 2023.
