Of the 27 players on the ballots of voters for the Baseball Hall of Fame, only two earned enough selections to be enshrined in Cooperstown, New York this summer.

A pair of centerfielders - Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltran - broke the 75 percent threshold and will be a part of the class of 2026.

They join Jeff Kent, who was voted in by the Baseball Hall of Fame's 'Contemporary Era Committee' and will be honored in upstate New York in July.

The two stars become the third and fourth centerfielders elected to the Hall since 1981, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. They join Ken Griffey Jr and Kirby Puckett for the honor.

Of the notable names not voted in, former Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley came third in voting at just over 59 percent, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
