4 players (2 hitters and 2 pitchers) enter this class. Of the 4, none of them are either RL HOFers of inductees in the previous OOTP HOF.

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

John Ewing was selected in the 3rd rd of the 2014 draft. At the age of 18 he went to the Wite Sox as the 138th pick, overall.

He pitched all of his first season in AAA. In August of 2016, his second season, having not yet reached the majors, the White Sox released him. The Padres signed him to a minor league deal that same day. In November of 2017, he was traded to the Brewers along with a minor league catcher for Walt Masterson, a journeyman pitcher who had just posted a career best 15-10 mark in 2017. This trade would come to look like the deal that sent Randy Johnson to Seattle and Mark Langston to Montreal.

Ewing spent the 2018 season, again, in AAA, and made his Major league debut in 2019. In 17 starts he compiled a 10-3 record and an OOTP ERA of 2.62 (npa ERA+ 156) and struck out 150 batters in 117 IP while walking only 28.

In his first 10 seasons, Ewing struck out more than 1 batter an inning in each season. He had an ERA+ above 100 in each of his first 12 seasons as a big leaguer.

For his career he struck out 2968 men (40th, 2 more than Javier Vasquez) in 2898 2/3 IP while walking 962. He retired following the 2033 season, having spent that entire campaign in AAA.

Ewing played all of his ML games as a member of the Brewers. He enters the HOF as the All Time Brewer leader in IP, and Ks and WHIP. He is second to HOFer Matt Kilroy on the team leaderboard in Wins and ERA.

Ewing retired with a record of 185-126 and a career OOTP ERA of 3.07, which is good for a spectacular npa ERA+ of 146. His 185 wins places him 100th on the All-Time ML win list at the time of his induction. His .5949 career w % places him in a tie for 53rd on the All Time chart. His 1.201 Whip is 63rd best in league history for a career.

In 2023 he won the CYA as he went 19-7 with an OOTP ERA of 2.65 (npa ERA+ 149) striking out 280 hitters in 234 1/3 IP while walking 68. His ERA was a league best, and it was the third consecutive season that he led the league in that category. His 19 wins was also a league high. he finished 3rd in the strikeout race.

In three post seasons he had a 2.64 OOTP ERA, but he never reached a WS.

Ewing was named to 5 All Star teams. Ewing enters the HOF with Black Ink and Gray Ink numbers above the current HOF averages.

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

Red Ehret finds himself slotted alphabetically next to his classmate on the list of pitchers enshrined here. OK, it means nothing, but two pitchers out of 2 with the last name intial of E is just one of those things that catches the eye.

Ehret was selected by the Mets with the 8th overall selection in the 2010 draft.

Prior to the 2018 season he signed a 3 year deal with Toronto. At the age of 25, he went 19-7 for the Blue Jays with an OOTP ERA of 3.32. This was a npa ERA+ of 129. Perhaps because the signed him to a big contract based on his 2017 where he had a npa ERA+ of 189, they left him unprotected in the expansion draft that brought Dallas and Jacksonville into the league.

He was selected by Dallas and joined what is now a large contingent of HOFers that brought that expansion franchise WS title wins in each of it's first two seasons. Ehret went 40-13 in the regular season in his two WS years with the Dallas Burn.

Ehret joins Lance Berkman, Adrian Gonzalez, Steve Garvey, Charlie Keller, Harry Salisbury, and George Sisler, who were all in their primes in 2019, as a member of the HOF from that expansion Dallas team, the best team in league history, bar none. Well, excpet for the 2020 squad which was joined by ROY and HOFer Dick Allen.

His contract expired after 2020, and Dallas couldn't keep all the high paid players they had, and he left for Arizona, where he pitched until he retired following the 2027 season.

Ehret was a 5 time All Star as he compiled a career record of 216-163. He ranks on 26th the All Time win list (2 behind James Shields). He struck out 2708 men (65th) and walked 781 in 3452 IP (52nd). His career OOTP ERA of 3.46 is a npa ERA+ of 127.

Red Ehret enters the HOF at the age of 55 on the Veteran Standard.
