Mattingly had a short career at an offense-first position and didn’t get 20% after his 2nd year out of 15 on the writers’ ballot. I get that people love Donnie Baseball but for me he might be the 7th-best choice on an 8-man ballot

Putnam @putnam39.bsky.social · 4h

Kind of incredulous that he makes it in so easily and Whitaker has never managed

I think Mattingly is an easy choice

This is not going to be interesting to 95% of you. That is perfectly understandable. Few share the fever.

For those 5%...enjoy the work of a lot of reverse engineering.

Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.
