Will Ichiro Suzuki, who has advanced to the Major League after dominating the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and built a 3,000-hit tower, enter the HOF with a unanimous opinion.
Major League Baseball will announce the results of the 2025 HOF induction vote of BBWAA (National Baseball Journalists Association) through MLB Network at 8 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time). A total of 28 candidates, including 14 new candidates, ran for the HOF vote.
Local media believe that Ichiro, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner are certain to enter. Ichiro and Sabathia are new candidates, and Wagner is in his 10th year, his last qualification.
According to HOF Tracker, Ichiro received 100% of the vote as of 10 p.m. on the 21st, supported by all 181 people who disclosed their voting results. Sabathia marks 92.1% of the vote, with a choice of 176, and Wagner marking 84.8% of the vote, with 162 support. In terms of HOF dedication, 75% of the votes were cast.

In any case, Ichiro's entry into the HOF is a given, and attention is only focused on whether it is 100% or not.
In response, does MLB.com believe that Ichiro will be unanimously inducted into the HOF for 55 people, including reporters and commentators from the media, on the 23rd of last month?As a result of asking the question ', 25 people said yes, and 30 were negative. In other words, there were more responses that expected unanimity to fail.
Mariano Rivera is the only player in history to enter the HOF with unanimous support. He received approval from all 425 people in the 2019 vote. Therefore, if Ichiro wins a unanimous vote, he will be the second in history and the first fielder.
Ichiro boasted the best offense and defense in the major leagues of his time. After making his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2001, he played for the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins and recorded a career-high 3089 hits, 509 steals, 1420 runs and an OPS of 0.757 for 19 seasons until retiring from Seattle in 2019. He has the most hits and highest batting average from Asia.

It is rated as the most perfect heater and leadoff in history. He did not make much controversy on and off the ground, and even after taking off his uniform, he went back and forth between the United States and Japan and showed his presence in the baseball world.
However, even some of the greatest legends in history failed to reach a unanimous agreement. Derek Jeter won 99.7% of the vote in 2020 with one in 397 against it. In 2016, Ken Griffey Jr. only accounted for 99.3% of 440 people who did not approve, including 311 wins-3640 strikeouts, three-time Cy Young Award winner Tom Seaver (98.8% in 1992), 20th century All-time pitcher Nolan Ryan (98.8% in 1999), 2632 consecutive games, Carl Ripken Jr. (98.5% in 2007), and original hit king Ty Cobb (98.2% in 1936).
