After electing no one in last year’s voting cycle, the BBWAA added one player to the 2022 Hall of Fame class in former Boston Red Sox great David Ortiz who appeared on 77.9% of the ballot. Ortiz was the only player that came close to reaching the 75 percent threshold with both Barry Bonds (66.0%) and Roger Clemens (65.2%) falling well short in their 10th and final year on the ballot.
Along with Bonds and Clemens, Curt Schilling (58.6%) and Sammy Sosa (18.5%) also failed to gain election in their 10th and final year on the ballot.
