Baseball Hall of Fame: 10 things to know about 2023 ballot as Carlos Beltrán joins A-Rod, other notable names

2023 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot was revealed on Monday. The BBWAA ballot features players who have been retired at least five years and holdovers from previous ballots for having received between 5 and 75 percent of the vote. Players who receive less than 5 percent fall off the ballot and those with at at 75% will be enshrined in Cooperstown next year.

The Era Committee ballot is separate from the BBWAA ballot. The Era Players ballot has Bonds, Clemens, Schilling, Rafael Palmerio, Albert Belle, Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly, and Fred McGriff. There is a 16-person committee that will hold a vote during the winter meetings on Dec. 4. If any of the players get 12 votes, they'll get into the Hall of Fame in the 2023 class.

Carlos Beltrán is the only first-time inductee on the 2023 ballot. He has the numbers to be inducted, but the Astros sign-stealing scandal could hurt his chances. He was one of the ringleaders of that operation in Houston in 2017. The voting body will decide in the coming weeks. Jose Altuve has a great foundation for a Hall of Fame. His team won the World Series in 2014. It's possible he could be included. John Lackey, Jered Weaver, Francisco Rodríguez, Matt Cain, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jayson Werth, Mike Napoli, Andre Ethier and J.J. Hardy are also first time inductees.

A-Rod is on the 2023 ballot. A-majority of BBWAA members are PED hardliners.

Bonds and Clemens got 2/3 of the vote in their first election. Alex Rodriguez got 34.3 percent of vote last year. He's suspended for the next two years. If he gets close to 50 percent this year, he'll eventually get in. If it's less than 1/2, though, it'll be unlikely. The voting body will continue to skew more and more "new school" as the years go on.

Scott Rolen got 10.2 percent of the vote his first year. He rose to 63. 2 percent last year and is now considered an underrated all-around player.

Todd Helton is trending very strong in his fifth year on the ballot. Larry Walker jumped 22 percent in one year to get in, but it was his final year. Andruw Jones' case looked like a lost cause through two years, then he got 41.4 percent last year and he has up to five more tries. He needs to crack 50 percent this year, though.

Jeff Kent is on the ballot for the 10th and final time. He has 560 doubles, 377 home runs, 1,518 RBI and nearly 2,500 hits. His defense has held him back. This is the last time he's on this ballot before heading to the Era Committee. He needs to gain 0.4 percent of the vote to get inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Gary Sheffield and Billy Wagner are on the Hall of Fame ballot. Sheffield got 40.6 percent in each of the last two voting cycles. Wagner is in his eighth try and might have a better shot. If he moves up over 60 percent this time, he might make it. If not, it's possible he will plateau.

Jimmy Rollins got 9.4 percent last year in his ballot debut. Bobby Abreu got 8.6 percent in third try. Mark Buehrle got 5.8 percent. Torii Hunter got only 5 percent, so he might fall off the ballot.

Carlos Beltrán will join A-Rod on the 2023 ballot. Jimmy Rollins got 9.4 percent last year in his ballot debut. Bobby Abreu got 8.6 percent in third try. Mark Buehrle got 5.8 percent. Torii Hunter got only 5% last time.

Manny Ramírez's offensive numbers are overwhelming enough that he'd already be in the Hall if not for the PED connection. Omar Vizquel topped 50 percent in his third ballot and was getting close to Cooperstown. The following summer he faced allegations of domestic violence and sexual harassment. He's on his sixth time on the ballot. Andy Pettitte's case is probably a lost cause because his numbers and PEd history are problematic.

Rolen will be promoted to the second class. Beltrán will probably be below 75 percent.
