The difference in the available candidates in the pitcher's pool and hitter's pool is marked.

For the next class, 183 pitchers will be eligible for standard and Veteran screenings. On the hitter's side for the next class there will be 21. The leaderboards (ie Slection Comittee) is used once all on the given list have been screened and spots are still available based on the RL induction break down. That is why the Selection Committee has been busy with hitters and not pitchers.

6 players, 5 hitters and 1 pitcher get in this year.

--------------

Jim Fregosi was the third player taken in the 1942 draft. As a 19 yearold second year player he collected 208 of his career 3121 hits, winning an MVP by scoring and driving in 101, each. His .348 average won him a batting title, that year, and his OBP/slg was 429/561 for a npa OPS+ of 170.

He hit 349 HRs (26th) in a career that ended in 1965. He scored 1565 (21st), drove in 1633 (13th, tied with Tris Speaker), and walked 1429 (18th) times. He posted a career line of 285/364/450 for a npa OPS+ of 125.

A 10 time All-Star, he won 7 GGs at shortstop. He appeared in 2 WS as a teammate of fellow HOFer Jeff Bagwell, losing both times.

Fregosi is an Official First Ballot Inductee, but did not get in on the first ballot screening. However, all of his metrics, except for Black Ink, exceeded the Hall average.

Black Ink: 23 (1)
Gray Ink: 224 (51)
HOFm: 212 (21)
HOFs: 64 (21)

-------------

Duke Sims is the second first balloter of this class. He did not get a first ballot screening, but enters with his HOFm/s numbers over the current Hall average.

Sims was a 10 time All-Star and 3 time MVP. The 9th pick in 1943, Sims collected 2466 hits from 1944 to 1963. He stuck around for a couple of minor league campaigns before retiring in 1965, becoming Hall eligible this year.

His 425 ML HRs are 14th best, all-time. He led the league in HRs in 1948, 1949, and 1950, hitting a career high 42 in each of the last two of those seasons.

He appeared in 4 WS and won a title in 1946 with fellow HOF team mates John McGraw, Mack Jones, Warren Cromartie, and Class of 1970 inductee Burt Shotton. An npa OPS+ of 129 resulted from a career line of 269/372/449.

Sims won 1 GG at C. His 1535 career RBI rank him 20th, all-time.

Black: 19 (0)
Gray: 112 (8)
HOFm: 196.5 (0)
HOFs: 60 (0)

------------

Gil McDougald was the highest ranking eligible player on the WAR list after Fregosi and Sims got their notices of induction.

McDougald was the 5th player selected in the 1940 draft. He played in the Majors until 1959. A defensive specialist, he won 8 GGs at SS, and also appeared in 4 All-Star games while collecting 1889 hits in a career while posting a 270/350/397 npa OPS+ 107 for a career line.

Mc Dougald is a floor breaker.

Black: 7 (1)
Gray: 56 (21)
HOFm: 55.5 (54)
HOFs: 29 (21)
