See the Eye-Popping Career Numbers Behind the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame Class

Just call them the Fab Five of 2025.

Five former Major League Baseball players will take their places in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, having earned baseball immortality through Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year awards, batting championships, a Cy Young Award, and extraordinary achievements.

Think 3,000 hits. Only 33 players have achieved that milestone, and Ichiro Suzuki is one of them. The 3,000 strikeout club is even more rare, with just 20 members, including CC Sabathia, in the exclusive group.

That's why Suzuki and Sabathia were elected to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. They will be joined on the stage at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday by Billy Wagner, elected on his 10th and final try. Being inducted posthumously and represented at the ceremony are Dick Allen and Dave Parker.

Take a look at the remarkable achievements of the five newest Hall of Fame members.
