Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have earned Hall of Fame election, with Beltran crossing the threshold in his fourth year after appearing on 84.2% of ballots. Jones, elected in his ninth and near-final try, secured 78.4%.

Beltran, a nine-time All-Star, retired with 2,725 hits, 435 homers, and 312 steals. His prior connection to the Astros' sign-stealing scandal likely delayed earlier election. Jones becomes the first Curacao-born player inducted.

Jones, remembered for elite defense and five Gold Gloves by age 23, faded after age 30 and faced off-field issues. Still, his early-career dominance and long-held respect from voters eventually paid off. Both join Jeff Kent in 2026 class.
