This is the last class where the retirement period before HOF consideration is only 1 year. For 2052 it will become 5 years. Therefore, there will be no players entering on the first ballot until, at least, 2056.

20 of the 52 players inducted here are in the RL HOF.

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

Tommy Bridges was selected with the 8th pick in the 2018 draft by the Royals.

He pitched through the 2038 season and compiled a won-loss record of 212-143. He ranks 20th on the career win list and 47th on the career win% list (.596). Bridges struck out 4431 men (8th, a spot behind Lefty Grove) in 3369 IP (17th, 1 spot ahead of Rube Waddell) while walking 1135. His 3.50 career OOTP ERA (48th) is good for a npa ERA+ of 130 compare to RL ERA+ of 126).

Beginning in 2022, Bridges struck out 300 men in 5 straight seasons, and in 8 of the next 9. He struck out 300 men 9 times in his career. He led the league 4 times.

In 2028 he was 16-9 for the Rockies. He struck out 324 men in 224 2/3 IP and carried an OOTP ERA of 2.64 (npa ERA+ 162) as he led the Rockies to a WS Championship. George Brett contributed to the Rockies being in a position to reach the post season, but he was traded in Augest, so Bridges is the first player from that WS team to enter the HOF.

He followed up in 2029 with 19 wins and a career high 357 strikeouts and his second consecutive season with a WHIP under 1.00.

Bridges enters the Hall 12th on the career VORP list (one spot ahead of Ben Tincup) and 13th on the WAR list.

A 3 time All Star, Bridges enters the HOF at the age of 54.

Gorilla Composite: 3.3 (2.4)

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

Hans Lobert was selected by the Jacksonville Sonics (formerly the Los Angeles Dodgers) with the 13th overall pick in the 2024 draft.

Lobert played through the 2044 season and collected 2562 hits (22nd) and 1000 RBI...yes, 1000 even. He also has a cool looking run total of 1515 which is made to look even cooler by the fact that 1515 runs ranks him, yep, 15th all-time upon his entry to the HOF, one spot ahead of Sam Crawford.

Lobert is third on the all time stolen base list with with 737 behind leader George Davis and Mike J McCormick. Lobert hit 474 doubles (46th), 70 triples (19th, one more than George Davis) and 193 homers while slashing 293/361/430 for a npa OPS+ of 115.

Lobert played in 4 post seasons with the Sonics, who he played for through 2041, and one World Series, but never popped the cork on WS champagne.

Lobert stole 50 bases in a season 6 times, leading the league 4 times. He appeared in 5 All Star games. He enters the HOF at the age of 46 as, yet another, third baseman.
