Suzuki Ichiro (51) has been nominated for the Hall of Fame in 2025. His presence is almost certain. There is even a possibility that he will make it to a unanimous decision of 100 percent.

In Major League Hall of Fame history, only one candidate was Mariano Rivera in 2019. Rivera went 82-60 with 652 saves and a 2.21 ERA in 1115 appearances over 19 seasons.

There are 28 candidates for the Hall of Fame in 2025. They are 14 new candidates and 14 failed to join the hall.

The new candidates include Ichiro, CC Sabathia, Dustin Pedroia, Felix Hernandez, Carlos Gonzalez, Curtis Granderson, Adam Jones, Ian Kinsler, Russell Martin, Brian McCann, Henry Ramirez, Fernando Rodney, Troy Tulowitzki and Ben Zobrist.

In addition to Ichiro, CC Sabathia (44), who recorded 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, is also drawing attention.

The 14 candidates to re-challenge the Hall of Fame are Andrew Jones, Carlos Beltran, Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Chase Utley, Oma Bizkel, Bobby Abreu, Jimmy Rollins, Andy Petit, Mark Burley, Francisco Rodriguez, Tori Hunter, David Wright and Billy Wagner.

Ichiro, the most prominent of the 28 players, started his big league career in 2001 by joining the Seattle Mariners. He entered the Major League at the late age of 27, but excelled in his first year.

In the 2001 season when he made his debut, he played in 157 games and posted an overwhelming OPS of 0.838, hitting .350 with 242 hits, eight homers, 69 RBIs, 127 runs, 56 steals.

As a result, he won the most hits, most stolen bases, and the batting champion from his first year of his debut, and also dominated the American League Rookie of the Year and MVP title at the same time.

56 steals was also the most season record for an Asian player before Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers) drew 59 steals this season.

Ichiro retired from playing in 2,653 games in 19 seasons until 2019 in the Major League with a batting average of 0.311, 3089 hits, 117 homers, 780 RBIs, 1420 runs and an OPS of 0.757.

During his career in the big leagues, he was highlighted as an icon of the times, winning the All-Star and Gold Glove along with a 200-hit record (the most hit record is six times) for 10 consecutive seasons from 2001 to 2010.

Ichiro started his professional career with the Orix Blue Wave (currently the Orix Buffaloes) in Japan in 1992. He had 1,278 hits in Japan for nine years, and 4,367 hits in total when combined with the U.S.-Japan hits.

토토사이트.COM reported, “Ichiro started his big league career at the age of 27, but ranked 24th with the most hits, 48th with on-base percentage, 35th with stolen bases, and 90th with the score, making him one of the top 100 players in the history of Major League Baseball. He won 10 Gold Gloves in the outfield.”

Meanwhile, another player is challenging the Hall of Fame for the 10th time. This is my last attempt. He played 903 innings in 422 games and posted an ERA of 2.31. Last year, he garnered 73.8 percent of the votes, slightly below the 75 percent threshold for his entry.
