The 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot has been released. The ballot includes former Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre for the first (and, most likely, last) time.
Along with Beltre, the players who are on the ballot for the first time are:
Bartolo Colon
James Shields
Joe Mauer
Victor Martinez
Chase Utley
Jose Reyes
Matt Holliday
Adrian Gonzalez
Brandon Phillips
David Wright
Jose Bautista
It is a really interesting group of first time eligibles. Aside from Beltre, who seems like a lock to be elected on the first ballot, the player most likely to eventually get in is Chase Utley.
