Probably not going to get a lot of traffic over here anymore, but I'll post it anyway to keep the thread active.

Class of 2019

Burger------Calloway----Fernandez----Ibanez------Macedo

Voting was down just a touch, but we still had 20 of a possible 24 votes cast, one less than we had cast in 2017. It is the lowest we've had, but 20 is still a good number when a couple of guys that didn't vote are very busy or without internet right now. I really can't say enough for all that you guys do to make this one of the longest running OOTP leagues, thanks again!

The class of 5 ties the record while using the utility, set by the first induction back in 2015. All five of these guys have been on the ballot since 2015 and have flirted with induction at some point in the past. The 5 make 18 inductions in the last 5 seasons.
Lowell Burger: After getting just 28% and 27% of votes in 2015 and 2016, Burger started gaining momentum in 2017 with 33% and he jumped up to 61% last year, falling just one vote short of induction.
Brent Calloway: The Robber was on less than a quarter of the ballots in 2015 and 2016, but like Burger started gaining momentum in 2017 with 33% and then was on 40% of the ballots last year before jumping up to 65% this year, just squeaking in.
Pruden Fernandez: Pruden got 48% in 2015 and 50% in 2016 and fell just one vote short of induction in both 2017 and 2018 before being named on 90% of the ballots this year.
Bernardo Ibanez: Ibanez steadily climbed from 48% in 2015 to 57% in 2017 before dipping down to 52% last year. I thought that may be a sign that he would never get in, but support for him rallied and he was named on 90% of the ballots in 2019.
Alberto Macedo: He was named on 43% of ballots in 2015 then very nearly was inducted in 2016, falling 1 vote short. He would slip to 2 votes shy of induction in 2016 and came up 1 short again in 2018 before finally breaking through with 75% of the ballots this year.

Once again Dean Cowden, Isaac Infante, Luke Kalakaua, Kennith Moise, and Mario Mayo have strong support but fall just short. Cowden, Kalakaua, and Moise have been fighting to get in all 5 years while Infante and Mayo have fallen just short in 2 bids. Support for USBA Save leader Drew Cane wavered a little, but he was still on 50% of the ballots. On the other hand, support for Vance and Etienne grew slightly. Steve Lawrence had a good showing in his first season on the ballot, with 11 votes.

Here are the final results:

For the first time since we started using StatsLab, zero players were eliminated from balloting with all 44 candidates receiving at least 1 vote.
