The results of the BBWAA portion of voting for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class were revealed on Tuesday night. Here at CBS Sports, we've spent the past two-plus months breaking it down, so let's put a bow on the 2025 ballot and look forward to what the results mean for 2026 and beyond.

Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner — were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Another deserving candidate, outfielder Carlos Beltran, came agonizingly close to being the fourth.

Billy Wagner came through in his final inning. In his 10th and last bid on the ballot, the former Mets closer earned what might as well have been his 423rd save, clearing the 75 percent threshold to join Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia (along with the already-elected Dave Parker and Dick Allen) as entrants into Cooperstown.

Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Carlos Beltran fell just short in his bid to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Beltran, 47, missed Hall of Fame enshrinement after receiving 277 votes on Tuesday.

Used to leading off, Ichiro Suzuki got antsy when he had to wait. Considered a no-doubt pick for baseball's Hall of Fame and possibly the second unanimous selection, he waited by the phone for the expected call Tuesday.

Ichiro Suzuki will be the first Japanese player to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and he'll be joined by CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner in the Class of 2025.
