On Tuesday, four players reached the 75 percent threshold in voting which allowed them to become the newest members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. The players are Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez, Roy Halladay, and Mike Mussina.
Rivera, considered by nearly all as the greatest closer of all-time, was the first player ever to be voted in unanimously. According to ESPN, Ken Griffey Jr. owned the previous record as he was named in 99.3 percent of the ballots in 2016.
Here are the notable players who are eligible to be on the ballot for the first time in 2020 according to Baseball Reference starting off with the one player who is a surefire first-ballot choice.
Derek Jeter (Yankees 1995-2014)
A 14-time All-Star and five-time World Series winner, Jeter ranks sixth all-time with 3,465 career hits. He also won five Gold Gloves and five Silver Sluggers in the American League.
Bobby Abreu (Astros 1996-97, Phillies 1998-2006, Yankees 2006-08, Angles 2009-12, Dodgers 2012, Mets 2014)
Abreu compiled 574 doubles, 288 home runs, 400 steals, 1.453 runs, and 1.363 RBIs during his career. Good at drawing walks, he retired with a career .395 on-base percentage.
Jason Giambi (Athletics 1995-2001, 2009, Yankees 2002-08, Rockies 2009-12, Indians 2013-14)
There was a time when Giambi was one of the league's most feared hitters. He was named to five straight All-Star teams from 2000-04 and was the 2000 American League MVP. His 440 homers are the 43rd-most of all-time.
Cliff Lee (Indians 2002-09, Phillies 2009, 2011-14, Mariners 2010, Rangers 2010)
The left-handed throwing Lee owns an impressive .611 winning percentage. He won the American League Cy Young in 2008 and finished top-seven in the voting four other times - that's twice in the American League and twice in the National League.
Rafael Furcal (Braves 2000-05, Dodgers 2006-11, Cardinals 2011-12, Marlins 2014)
Furcal's calling card was his speed as he stole 314 bases and had at least 22 steals in nine different seasons. He was the 2000 National League Rookie of the Year and a three-time All-Star.
Eric Chavez (Athletics 1998-2010, Yankees 2011-12, Diamondbacks 2013-14)
Chavez was a slick fielder at the hot corner racking up six consecutive Gold Gloves from 2001-06. He was no slouch at the plate either as evidenced by his 260 career home runs.
Josh Beckett (Marlins 2001-05, Red Sox 2006-12, Dodgers 2012-14)
The runner-up for the 2007 American League Cy Young Award, Beckett shone brightest at the biggest moments. He was named the 2003 World Series and 2007 ALCS MVP. He went 7-3 with a 3.07 ERA in 14 career postseason outings (13 starts).
Alfonso Soriano (Yankees 1999-2003, 2013-14, Rangers 2004-05, Nationals 2006, Cubs 2007-13)
At one time, Soriano was one of the game's most prolific players and was named to seven straight All-Star teams from 2002-08. His 412 home runs are the 53rd-most runs in league history.
Paul Konerko (Dodgers 1997-98, Reds 1998, White Sox 1999-2014)
Konerko hit five homers in the postseason and was named ALCS MVP for the 2005 World Series-winning White Sox team. He sits in 44th place, all-time, with his 439 career home runs.
Adam Dunn (Reds 2001-08, Diamondbacks 2008, Nationals 2009-10, White Sox 2011-14, Athletics 2014)
Dunn hit at least 38 long balls for seven straight seasons from 2004-10. He also walked at least 100 times in seven different years. His 462 homers in his career are tied for the 37th-most in MLB history.
