What percentage of votes did Latinos who did not enter the Hall of Fame have?

This Monday the new members of the Cooperstown Hall of Fame. Being Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner the names that will now go down in Major League immortality.

But on the list of candidates there were several Latinos who were very close to reaching the 75% of votes required to enter the American Baseball Hall of Fame. These are some of them.

Carlos Beltran
Without a doubt, he was the closest of the three chosen for the 2025 class. The Puerto Rican accumulated 277 votes for 70.3% in just his third year on the ballot, which suggests that the outfielder will enter Cooperstown sooner rather than later. .

Andrew Jones
The Curacao native obtained 261 votes for a total of 66.2%, also staying very close to the 75% he needs to enter Cooperstown. In addition, it still has a couple of years left to appear on the ballots.

Alex Rodriguez
The former Yankee has taken its toll on his controversy with prohibited substances during his time in the Major Leagues. Which has meant that in its four appearances on the ballots it has not been able to reach even 40%. He obtained 34.3% in 2022, 35.7% in 2023 and 34.8% in 2024. This year he improved a little, with 146 votes for 37.1%. But it is still far from the 75% required to be immortalized.

Manny Ramirez
For Dominican Manny Ramírez, his time on the Hall of Fame ballot is very close to ending. Well, in 2026 it will be your last chance to enter and this year you barely achieved 34.3%

Felix Hernandez
The Venezuelan pitcher made his debut this year on the ballot for Cooperstown and as a debutant he didn’t do bad at all. Well, he achieved 81 votes for 20.6%, which projects a good path towards the Hall of Fame.

Bobby Abreu
Another Venezuelan who is on the ballot is Bobby Abreu. Who in his fifth year has been gradually growing in votes and now accumulates 19.5%.

Latinos who did not reach the minimum number of votes

On the other hand, two Latino players will no longer be on the ballots after not reaching the minimum of 5% to continue next year. These are Carlos González who barely achieved two votes for 0.5% and Hanley Ramírez who did not accumulate any votes.
