Beltrán, who was in his fourth year on the ballot, topped the lists of 27 candidates with 358 votes, which accounted for 84.2 percent of the electorate. Jones made the grade in his ninth year on the ballot with 333 votes (78.4). Jones was born April 23, 1977 in Willemstad, Curaçao, the day before Beltrán’s arrival in Manati, Puerto Rico.
They will be honored during Induction Weekend 2026 July 24-27 in Cooperstown, N.Y., at the July 26 Induction Ceremony on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center along with infielder Jeff Kent, who was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee last month in Orlando.
Also being honored that weekend will be the Ford C. Frick Award winner for baseball broadcasting, Joe Buck, and the BBWAA Career Excellence Award winner for baseball writing, Paul Hoynes, July 25 at the Awards Presentation.
Beltrán was the American League winner of the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award in 1999 with the Kansas City Royals and went on to bat .279 with 435 home runs and 1,587 runs batted in during 20 seasons with stops in New York for both the Mets and the Yankees, in Texas for both the Rangers and the Houston Astros as well as San Francisco and St. Louis.
The nine-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove Award winner batted .307 with a 1.021 on-base plus slugging percentage in 15 postseason series featuring 16 home runs and 42 RBI in 65 games. A member of the 2017 Astros World Series title team, Beltrán hit four home runs in the 2004 NL Division Series and NL Championship Series in becoming the only player with at least four home runs in two series in the same season and one of four players, along with Giancarlo Stanton and Hall of Famers Jim Thome and Duke Snider, with multiple postseason series of at least four home runs.
Jones burst onto the major league scene in 1996 with the Atlanta Braves and hit home runs in his first two at-bats in that year’s World Series against the Yankees, for whom he would finish out his career in 2011 and ‘12. In between he also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox and slugged 434 home runs while batting .254 with 1,289 RBI and an .823 OPS.
Among the most graceful center fielders, Jones earned 10 Gold Glove Awards in leading the league in putouts six times and assists three times. In 2005, he led the National League in home runs (51) and RBI (128) and finished second to Albert Pujols for the NL Most Valuable Player Award. In 18 postseason series combined with the Braves and Yankees, Jones hit .273 with 43 runs, 10 home runs and 34 RBI in 76 games.
The only other player to gain mention on more than half the ballots was second baseman Chase Utley with 251 votes (59.1). In his 10th-and-final season on the ballot, outfielder Manny Ramírez received 165 votes (38.8). He will become eligible for the Contemporary Era ballot in the fall of 2028.
Candidates may remain on the BBWAA ballot for up to 10 years provided they are listed on at least five percent of ballots cast, with this year’s target being 22 votes. There are 13 players from this year’s ballot who will be eligible again for 2027, including one of 12 first-year candidates – pitcher Cole Hamels with 101 votes (23.8).
The Hall of Fame has 354 elected members, including 281 players, of whom 144 have come through the BBWAA ballot. The average ballot in the 2026 election contained 5.77 names, down from 6.77 last year, with 20.9 percent of the voters using all 10 slots, down from 24.9 a year ago. The total of ballots cast was 99.3-percent of the 428 ballots mailed to voters. The 11 blank ballots submitted were the most since the record 14 in 2021.

]]>The post Longtime Cleveland beat writer Paul Hoynes wins Career Excellence Award first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Of the 407 ballots, including two blanks, cast by BBWAA members with 10 or more consecutive years’ service, Hoynes was named on 177 in becoming the 77th winner of the award since its inception in 1962. Finishing second with 128 votes was the late Scott Miller, who covered baseball for more than 30 years prior to his death in June at age 62 after an 18-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Tom Verducci, the multi-faceted writer for Sports Illustrated and commentator for MLB Network and Fox Sports’ MLB coverage, received 100 votes. Candidates were chosen by a three-member, BBWAA-appointed committee and announced during the All-Star Game meeting July 15 in Atlanta. Voting was conducted by mail in November.
Hoynes has trekked to press boxes throughout North America and entertained colleagues with his patented “hawk call.” Covering more than 6,000 major league games, “Hoynsie” is the owner of the most bylines in Cleveland Plain Dealer history. Starting with Mike Ferraro in 1983, Paul has covered 12 Cleveland managers as well as 18 Opening Day starters and seven general managers. He chronicled 105-loss teams in front of hordes of seagulls and a handful of diehards at old Municipal Stadium and 100-win teams before capacity crowds at a buzzing Progressive Field.
Hoynes covered Cleveland’s last three World Series teams (all losses, two in Game 7 extra innings) and the tragic spring training boating accident in 1993 that claimed the lives of pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews. Hoynes was elected to the Cleveland Journalism Hall of Fame in 2013. He served as president of the BBWAA in 2007 and was on the Cooperstown stage that year when Cal Ripken Jr. was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, a fitting pairing of baseball’s Iron Man player and baseball’s Iron Man writer.

]]>The post Yankees’ Aaron Judge wins tight race to take home his third AL MVP, and second in a row first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Judge outpolled Raleigh, 17-13, in first-place votes. It was the closest MVP race since 2019, when Mike Trout won over Alex Bregman by the same margin.
Judge’s second consecutive victory is also his third overall. He is the 13th player to be named MVP at least three times. Barry Bonds is the all-time record-holder with seven MVP Awards, all in the NL (1990, 1992-93, 2001-04). Shohei Ohtani, the 2025 MVP in the National League, has won four times, including last year in the NL and in 2021 and 2023 in the AL
Other three-time winners in the AL: Jimmie Foxx (1932-33, 1938), Joe DiMaggio (1939, 1941, 1947), Yogi Berra (1951, 1954-55), Mickey Mantle (1956-57, 1962), Alex Rodriguez (2003, 2005, 2007) and Mike Trout (2014, 2016, 2019). Three-time winners in the NL: Stan Musial (1943, 1946, 1948), Roy Campanella (1951, 1953, 1955), Mike Schmidt (1980-81, 1986) and Albert Pujols (2005, 2008-09).
This election marks the 20th time a player has won the award in back-to-back years. Bonds did it four times in the NL (1992-93, 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04) and Ohtani twice (2023 AL and 2024 NL, 2024-25 NL). Judge’s back-to-back victories in AL voting matches that of Foxx (1932-33), Hal Newhouser (1944-45), Berra (1954-55), Mantle (1956-57), Roger Maris (1960-61), Frank Thomas (1993-94) and Miguel Cabrera (2012-13). Back-to-back winners in the NL in addition to Bonds and Ohtani: Ernie Banks (1958-59), Joe Morgan (1975-76), Schmidt (1980-81), Dale Murphy (1982-83) and Pujols (2008-09).
This marks the 23rd time that a Yankees player has been honored, the most MVP Awards overall for one club in BBWAA voting dating to 1931. The St. Louis Cardinals are second with 18, the most in the NL. Judge joins fellow three-time winners DiMaggio (1939, 1941, 1947), Berra (1951, 1954-55) and Mantle (1956-57, 1962); two-time winners Maris (1960-61) and Rodriguez (2005, 2007) as well as Lou Gehrig (1936), Joe Gordon (1942), Spud Chandler (1943), Phil Rizzuto (1950), Elston Howard (1963), Thurman Munson (1976) and Don Mattingly (1985).
Judge’s victory is the13th for a right fielder in the AL. He was primarily a center fielder when he won in 2022 and 2024. Judge joins a right field list including two-time winners Maris (1960-61) and Juan Gonzalez (1996, 1998), Jackie Jensen (1958), Frank Robinson (1966), Reggie Jackson (1973), Jeff Burroughs (1974), Jose Canseco (1988), Ichiro Suzuki (2001), Vladimir Guerrero (2004) and Mookie Betts (2018). The NL MVP Award has been won by a right fielder 15 times.
The second-place showing by Raleigh is the third for a Mariners player. Other runners-up were Ken Griffey Jr. to Thomas in 1994 and Alex Rodrguez to Gonzalez in 1996. Griffey won the award in 1997, and Rodriguez won three times, once with the Rangers and twice with the Yankees.
The Guardian’s José Ramirez finished third in the voting for a third time, duplicating his showings in 2017 and 2018. He was the runner-up in the 2020 voting to Jose Abreu. Cleveland’s last MVP was Al Rosen in 1953.
Judge, Raleigh, Ramirez and Bobby Witt Jr. were named on every ballot.
Ballots, submitted before the postseason, were cast by two writers in each league city. They are tabulated on a system that rewards 14 points for first place, nine for second, eight for third on down to one for 10th.

The post Yankees’ Aaron Judge wins tight race to take home his third AL MVP, and second in a row first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>The post Unanimous again, Shohei Ohtani wins 4th MVP first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Ohtani, who was honored in the American League in 2021 and 2023, is only the second player to be named MVP at least four times. The only player who won more often was Barry Bonds, the all-time record-holder with seven MVP Awards, all in the NL (1990, 1992-93, 2001-04). Ohtani is the only player to win the award twice in each league. The only other player named MVP in each league was Frank Robinson (1961 in the NL with the Reds and 1966 in the AL with the Orioles).
This marks only the second time a player has won MVP Awards in three consecutive seasons. Bonds holds that record as well with four straight MVPs from 2001-04.
All four of Ohtani’s victories have been by a unanimous vote. He is the only player to have won the award unanimously more than once. This is the 10th time the NL winner has been unanimous. The others: Orlando Cepeda (1967), Mike Schmidt (1980), Jeff Bagwell (1994), Ken Caminiti (1996), Bonds (2002), Albert Pujols (2009), Bryce Harper (2015) and Ronald Acuna Jr. (2023). There have been 13 unanimous winners in the AL, including Ohtani himself twice.
This election marks the 19th time a player has won the award in back-to-back years. Bonds did it four times in the NL (1992-93, 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04). Ohtani’s back-to-back victories in NL voting matches that of Ernie Banks (1958-59), Joe Morgan (1975-76), Schmidt (1980-81), Dale Murphy (1982-83) and Pujols (2008-09). AL back-to-back winners were Jimmie Foxx (1932-33), Hal Newhouser (1944-45), Yogi Berra (1954-55), Mickey Mantle (1956-57), Roger Maris (1960-61), Frank Thomas (1993-94) and Miguel Cabrera (2012-13).
Ohtani has finished first or second in his past five MVP elections, which ties the record shared by Bonds and Mike Trout. Bonds was NL MVP from 2001-04 after having finished second to Giants teammate Jeff Kent in 2000. Trout won the AL award in 2014 and ‘16 and was the runner-up in 2012, ’13 and ’15. Stan Musial also finished 1-2 in four straight NL elections from 1948-51.
With Ohtani’s second victory with the Dodgers, the club has captured the award 14 times The other winners: Roy Campanella three times (1951, 1953, 1955), Dolph Camilli (1941), Jackie Robinson (1949), Don Newcombe (1956), Maury Wills (1962), Sandy Koufax (1963), Steve Garvey (1974), Kirk Gibson (1988), Clayton Kershaw ( 2014) and Cody Bellinger (2019).
Kyle Schwarber’s second-place finish is the ninth for a Phillies player. Other runners-up were Chuck Klein in 1931 to Frankie Frisch and 1933 to Carl Hubbel, Greg Luzinski in 1975 to Joe Morgan and 1977 to George Foster, Robin Roberts in 1952 to Hank Sauer, Johnny Callison in 1964 to Ken Boyer, Lenny Dykstra in 1993 to Bonds and Ryan in 2008 to Pujols. Phillies players have won the award eight times.
Juan Soto finished third for the second consecutive year, in different leagues. He placed third last year in the AL voting behind then Yankees teammate Aaron Judge and runner-up Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals. With the Nationals in 2021, Soto placed second in the NL voting to the Phillies’ Bryce Harper.
Ohtani, Schwarber and Soto were listed on every ballot.

]]>The post Pirates’ Paul Skenes wins NL Cy Young award a season after winning Rookie of the Year first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Pirates’ right-hander Paul Skenes unanimously won the NL Cy Young award.
Skenes, who finished third in last year’s NL Cy Young Award voting, is the second pitcher to win the award the year after he was named NL Rookie of the Year, duplicating Dwight Gooden’s feat for the Mets in 1984 and ‘85. Fernando Valenzuela is the only pitcher to win both awards in the same season, in 1981 with the Dodgers.
The election marks the 16th time a National League pitcher has been unanimous in the voting. Skenes joins a list featuring Sandy Koufax three times (1963, ‘65-66), Greg Maddux twice (1994-95) and once each by Sandy Alcantara (2022), Clayton Kershaw (2014), Roy Halladay (2010), Jake Peavy (2007), Randy Johnson (2002), Orel Hershiser (1988), Gooden (1985), Rick Sutcliffe (1984), Steve Carlton (1972) and Bob Gibson (1968). The American League has had a unanimous winner 12 times: Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Johan Santana and Justin Verlander twice each; Denny McLain, Ron Guidry, Gerrit Cole and Tarik Skubal once apiece.
Skenes becomes the seventh former NL Rookie of the Year recipient to win the Cy Young Award, joining Valenzuela, Gooden, Don Newcombe, Rick Sucliffe, three-time Cy Young Award winner Tom Seaver and two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom. The only former AL Rookie of the Year Award recipient to emerge victorious in Cy Young Award voting is three-time winner Justin Verlander.
This marks the third time a Pirates pitcher has won the Cy Young Award. Skenes joins Vernon Law (1960) and Doug Drabek (1990).
With his 10-10 record, Skenes matches deGrom’s 10-9 mark in 2018 for the Mets as the fewest number of victories for a Cy Young Award-winning starting pitcher in a full season.
Since the BBWAA went to a five-player ballot format for the Cy Young Award in 2010, this is the first time the winner received all the first-place votes and the runner-up all the second-place votes. Skenes and the Phillies’ Cristopher Sanchez were the only pitchers named on every ballot.
Ballots were cast prior to postseason play. They are tabulated on a system that rewards seven points for first place, four points for second place, three points for third place, two votes for fourth place and one point for fifth place.

The post Tigers’ Tarik Skubal wins AL Cy Young again first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>The post Guardians’ Stephen Vogt wins back-to-back AL Manager of the Year awards first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Vogt is the second AL manager to win the award in consecutive seasons, joining Kevin Cash with the Rays in 2020 and ‘21. In the National League, Bobby Cox won in 2004 and ‘05 with the Braves and Pat Murphy this year and last year with the Brewers.
It is the first time there have been winners in consecutive years in both leagues in the same season.
Vogt’s two victories bring to six the number of years a Cleveland manager has been honored. Terry Francona won the award in 2013, 2016 and 2022 and Eric Wedge in 2007.
Schneider’s runner-up finish was the highest for a Blue Jays manager since Cito Gaston also ran second in 1989, to the Orioles’ Frank Robinson. The only Toronto manager to win the award was Bobby Cox in 1985.
No manager was named on every ballot.
Ballots were cast before the start of the postseason. They are tabulated on a system that rewards five points for first place, three points for second place and one point for third place.

Atlanta winners in addition to Williams were Bob Horner (1978), David Justice (1990), Rafael Furcal (2000), Craig Kimbrel (2011), Ronald Acuna Jr. (2018) and Michael Harris II (2022).

]]>The post Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz wins Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year unanimously first appeared on BBWAA.
]]>Kurtz is the 14th player to win the AL award by a unanimous vote and the second for the A’s, joining Mark McGwire (1987). Other unanimous winners in the AL: Carlton Fisk (1972), Sandy Alomar Jr. (1990), Tim Salmon (1993), Derek Jeter (1996), Nomar Garciaparra (1997), Evan Longoria (2008), Mike Trout (2012), Jose Abreu (2014), Aaron Judge (2017), Kyle Lewis (2020) and Gunnar Henderson (2024).

It occurred four times in the NL: the Phillies’ Jack Sanford and Ed Bouchee in 1957, the Cubs’ Jerome Walton and Dwight Smith in 1989, the Braves’ Craig Kimbrel and Freddie Freeman in 2011 and the Braves’ Michael Haris II and Spencer Strider in 2022.
