Beisbol Sudamerica did not induct anyone into the Hall of Fame with the 1975 voting, which is the first time they had no inductees since 1945, the year prior to the first-ever inductees. Closer Jaguare Maia got very close on his debut ballot at 64.5%, but just missed the 66% threshold. Another reliever, Alfredo Mejia, got 59.5% in his second ballot. SP Jon Mancilla received 56.6% in his sixth attempt and 1B Valeriano Torrez had 50.9% in his penultimate try.

Dropped after ten ballots was SP Marcos Oyenede, who had a 16-year career with a 187-142 record, 2.66 ERA, 2879 strikeouts in 3107.1 innings, and 48.2 WAR. A nice run, but firmly a Hall of Very good type. Another pitcher dropped was Silvestre Azambuja, who won four championship rings and one Pitcher of the Year. In 15 years, he had a 168-104 record, 2.64 ERA, 2508 strikeouts in 2572.1 innings, and 47.1 WAR. Again, not quite enough tallies. Both guys peaked in the upper 20%-low 30% range. Also notable was 3B Evelio Castillo dropped after eight tries and falling below 5%. He had a 14-year career with Callao with one MVP and six Silver Sluggers, 1903 hits, 1001 runs, 245 home runs, and 57.8 WAR. His highest ballot was 16.8%.
