Having snubbed him for the Inaugural Class, and snubbing all pitchers subsequently, the BBWA inducts Sandy Koufax, and only Sandy Koufax, in 2037.

8 of the 12 entrants here are in the RL HOF.

Sandy Koufax may be the biggest steal of any draft that will happen. Koufax was the 556th player taken in the Inaugural Draft of 2004 (Royals).

As a rookie Koufax worked from the pen and notched 37 saves and made the All Star Team.

He became a starter in 2005, but injuries limited him to 23 starts over 2005-2006.

In 2007 he made 24 starts and won 17 games.

In 2008 he made 33 starts and won 19 while losing 7, including a no-hitter. His OOTP ERA of 3.21 (npa ERA+ 145) and his first of 4 300 strikeout seasons (308) garnered him his first of two career Cy Young Awards.

He left the Royals after the 2009 season and joined the Giants for the 2010 season. He went 15-8, 3.41 (npa ERA+ 122), 312K and led the Giants to a WS win.

He extended with SF and 2017 was the final year of that deal. He posted a 15-11. 3.58 (npa ERA+ 117) and won his second WS with the Giants.

He signed with Seattle and in 2018 won 14 games during the regular season and, along with fellow HOFer Mickey Mantle, won the WS.

Koufax posted a career 16-8 post season record and struck out 180 batters in 189 IP.

At the age of 37, in 2020, Koufax went 16-11 with a 2.90 OOTP ERA (npa ERA+ 156) while striking out 277 men in 248 innings to win his second CYA.

Koufax pitched his final big league game in 2027. He enters the HOF as the all time leader in wins with 295 (vs 157 losses). He is the all time leader in GS with 591 (he also is the career leader in HRA with 496). His 4741 strikeouts is second only to Toad Ramsey. He walked 1126 men in his career.

His 3.43 career OOTP ERA is good for a 129 npa ERA+.

Koufax made 8 All Star games. He enters the HOF at the age of 54.
