Each year, the Baseball Writers' Association votes for the Hall of Fame, with only those receiving more than 75 percent gaining induction. Many players receive insufficient support to remain on the ballot. This year featured 14 holdover candidates, among which Andy Pettitte's vote count notably surged. He garnered 110 votes, amounting to a 27.9 percent support rate, a significant jump from his previous 13.5 percent. This rise in votes is attributed to various factors, including the notable presence of teammate CC Sabathia among the voters, influencing perceptions of Pettitte's Hall of Fame worthiness.
Andy Pettitte’s vote total rose significantly this year, surpassing other notable players and garnering 27.9 percent—double his previous year's tally.
The increased support for Pettitte is notable amid the ballot’s complexities, as he transitions from less than 10 percent to a more respectable figure.
