Is there any info on how often the top returning vote-getter gets in or not? With minimal additions to next year's eligible group, it would appear Utley should be a strong favorite to get in despite need for big % jump.

Since the culling of the voters in 2016: 2016: Piazza got in 2017: Bagwell got in 2018: Hoffman got in 2019: Edgar got in 2020: Schilling bypassed by Walker 2021: Schilling Schilling’d 2022: Schilling Schilling’d again 2023: Rolen got in 2024: Helton got in 2025: Wagner got in 2026: Beltrán got in

Size of jump 2016 – Piazza - 13.1% 2017 – Bagwell – 14.6% 2018 – Hoffman – 5.9% 2019 – Edgar – 15% SCHILLING INTERREGNUM 2023 – Rolen – 13.1% 2024 – Helton – 7.5% 2025 – Wagner – 8.7% 2026 – Beltrán – 13.9% I hope Utley gets there next year, but it would be the biggest jump in more than 10 years.
