2025 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting

Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2025 were conducted according to the rules most recently amended in 2022. As in the past, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) voted by mail to select from a ballot of recently retired players, and the results were announced on January 21. Three candidates were inducted by the BBWAA: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner. Suzuki and Sabathia were inducted in their first year of eligibility; Wagner was in his tenth and final year of eligibility. A meeting of the Classic Baseball Era committee—one of a group of three rotating bodies generally referred to as the Veterans Committee and whose structure was amended in April 2022—was held in December 2024 to consider players from the era before 1980 who no longer appear on the BBWAA ballot. Dave Parker and Dick Allen were elected from the Veterans Committee ballot. The inductees were honored in a ceremony in Cooperstown, New York on Sunday, July 27, 2025.
