Career: 117 ERA+, 60.7 WAR ( Wins Above Replacement).Cooperstown Cred: Andy Pettitte (SP)Ĥth year on the ballot (received 10.7% of the vote in 2022) It has been updated in advance of the 2023 Hall of Fame vote. This piece was originally posted in January 2019. If Pettitte is ever to make the Hall of Fame, it’s going to take a long time. He’s gained some converts in this voting season, tracking at 19.5% on Ryan Thibodaux’s Hall of Fame tracker, but he’s still far, far way from the 75% mark required to get a plaque in Cooperstown. In the years since Pettitte has gotten 13.7% (in 2021) and 10.7% (in 2022). It didn’t matter for the tall lefty his vote share barely inched up, to 11.3%, putting him just the 15th best among the 16 players who got over 5% of the tallies. The 2020 ballot, however, was not nearly as crowded, thanks to the inductions of Mussina, Halladay, Edgar Martinez, and Mariano Rivera. The 2019 ballot was stacked and Pettitte was only the fifth-best starting pitcher it’s easy to understand why he was overlooked, considering that the writers are limited to 10 votes per ballot. He received just 9.9% of the vote on the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America) ballot.
#Yankees andy pettitte full
In his first appearance on the ballot (in 2019), on a slate chock full of quality starters (Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay, Mike Mussina, and Curt Schilling), Pettitte got lost in the shuffle. On the “no” side, you have a pitcher with a career ERA of 3.85 who never won a Cy Young Award, was only selected to 3 All-Star squads, and has an admitted link to Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). On the “yes” side you have a 256-game winner who contributed to 5 World Championships and 8 pennants. On the 2023 Hall of Fame ballot, the case of longtime starting pitcher Andy Pettitte is one of the most interesting and complex.
