The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum announced their 2025 Hall of Fame class on Tuesday, with only three former players selected - Ichirio Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

On Tuesday, the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced the latest players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Longtime closer Billy Wagner, who pitched for the Red Sox in 2009, was elected to the Hall of Fame in his 10th and final year of eligibility.

Billy Wagner, who briefly pitched for the Red Sox in 2009, has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame alongside Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia in his final year of eligibility.

CC Sabathia remembers being awed by his first visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., saying he still gets goosebumps when he thinks about those hours wandering through the plaque gallery several years ago.

CC Sabathia adds another C to his name now, for Cooperstown, now that he becomes the latest great Yankee to become a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Dustin Pedroia was one of several former Red Sox players who landed on the latest Baseball Hall of Fame voting ballot this year.

The three stalwarts were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday and will be enshrined in Cooperstown this summer.

The BBWAA recognized CC Sabathia’s prolonged excellence by voting the former Yankees left-hander into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

That was one of the best debut seasons ever. Ichiro was an All-Star and won a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove award in right field. He not only coasted to the Rookie of the Year award but narrowly surpassed Jason Giambi to win the MVP. He joined Fred Lynn as the only rookies to be named the Most Valuable Player.

Red Sox great Dustin Pedroia received a high enough percentage in 2025, his first year of eligibility, to remain on the Hall of Fame ballot next year.
