When Andy Pettitte entered his first year of eligibility for Cooperstown, he proved to be an enigma. He only garnered 9.9% of the BBWAA voting, with other pitchers like former Yankees teammate Mike Mussina and the late Roy Halladay getting the call for the Hall.
More controversial pitchers like Rodger Clemens and Curt Schilling stole the headlines along with a good chunk of votes. Much like his playing career, Pettitte has been lowkey and overlooked yet always in the conversation. This year, he had a slight uptick in votes, earning 45 votes for 11.3% but this is not enough to suggest a rapid trend would happen any time soon.
