Eight former Los Angeles Dodgers were on the ballot to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s class of 2025, but only Andruw Jones received the requisite number of votes.
Jones, who spent one of his 17 seasons with the Dodgers, was selected to join the National Baseball Hall of Fame in voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday.
Players are elected to the Hall provided they are named on at least 75% of ballots cast by eligible voting members of the BBWAA. With 425 ballots, including 11 blanks, cast in the 2026 election, candidates needed to receive 319 votes to be elected.
Jones was in his ninth year on the ballot received 333 votes (78.4%). Carlos Beltrán, in his fourth year on the ballot, was the only other electee in this class and received 358 votes (84.2%).
Both men will be honored during Induction Weekend 2026 July 24-27 in Cooperstown, N.Y., at the July 26 Induction Ceremony on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center along with former Dodgers infielder Jeff Kent, who was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee last month in Orlando.
Of the seven remaining former Dodgers, Chase Utley received the second most votes at 251 (59.1%).
Manny Ramírez received 165 votes (38.8%) in his 10th and final year on the BBWAA ballot, meaning his final shot at making the Hall of Fame is the Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot. The Era Committee ballot covers players who made their greatest impact on the game between 1980 and the present day and who are no longer eligible for Hall of Fame election by the BBWAA.
Other results include Bobby Abreu (30.8%), Jimmy Rollins (25.4%), Cole Hamels (23.8%) and Howie Kendrick (0.0%). Abreu, in his seventh season, has the least amount of time remaining on the BBWAA ballot.
Matt Kemp received just two votes (0.5%) in his first year on the ballot.
Dodgers All-Star Jeff Kent elected to Hall of Fame
Kent received 14 votes from the 16-person Contemporary Baseball Era Committee. Candidates needed to receive votes on 75% (12) of the ballots cast by the Contemporary Era committee in order to gain induction into Cooperstown.
Kent was the only player elected to the Hall of Fame through the Contemporary Era committee. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Carlos Delgado, Dale Murphy, Don Mattingly, Gary Sheffield and Fernando Valenzuela all fell short of the necessary votes.
