Unfortunately for Pettitte, players’ candidacies on the writers’ ballot have been shortened from 15 years to 10 years. In his maiden voyage on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, the beloved Yankees and Astros’ left-hander received 42 votes, 9.9 percent of the electorate, on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, thereby exceeding the 5 percent threshold required to get another look in 2020.Īccording to FanGraphs writer Jay Jaffe, the record for the longest leap in this voting belongs to Bert Blyleven, who registered 14.1 percent in 1999, his second year on the ballot, and gained his Hall plaque 12 years later with 79.7 percent, easily clearing the necessary 75 percent. The New York Yankees today announced they have re-signed LHP Andy Pettitte to a one-year minor-league contract with an invitation to Major League spring training.
