Elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2027 will be conducted according to the rules most recently amended in 2022. As in the past, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) will vote by mail to select from a ballot of recently retired players. The results will be announced in January.
BBWAA ballot The following players will appear on the 2027 ballot. 13 players will be carried over from the 2026 ballot; they garnered at least 5% of the votes cast and are still eligible for election. A selection of players who made their last major league appearance in 2021, and played at least 10 seasons of Major League Baseball, will also be on the ballot. They will be chosen by a screening committee. This will be the final ballot for Omar Vizquel.
