6 Former Seattle Mariners On The 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot

Depsite the Seattle Mariners struggling to put together a string of solid seasons, and never making a World Series... They do always find a way to have talented players on their teams. The 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot has SIX players that once played for the Seattle Mariners:

  • Ichiro Suzuki (14 Mariners seasons) 
  • Felix Hernandez (15 Mariners seasons) 
  • Adam Jones (2 Mariners seasons) 
  • Fernando Rodney (2 Mariners seasons)
  • Alex Rodriguez (7 Mariners seasons)
  • Omar Vizquel (5 Mariners seasons)

Ichiro Suzuki is easily expected to be the highest voted player to get in this year, and will possibly become the 2nd unamimous player ever voted in (100% votes). Mariano Rivera is the only player to ever get that nod in baseball HOF history. 

In 2016, Seattle Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr. ALMOST got 100% votes, and it's still a shame he did not... Vote total: 99.3% (437/440). 

Félix Hernández, who during his peak was on a clear path to Cooperstown but whose precipitous decline makes his case far more complicated. It would be a great moment to see Felix make it in with Ichiro though. 

They’ll look to join just seven former Mariners players to be elected: Beltré (2024), Edgar Martinez (2019), Ken Griffey Jr. (2016), Randy Johnson (2015), Rickey Henderson (2009), Goose Gossage (2008) and Gaylord Perry (1991).
