One former Red Sox pitcher earned his spot in Cooperstown on Tuesday. 

Left-handed reliever Billy Wagner, who pitched for Boston for a short stint during the 2009 season, was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday in his 10th and final year on the ballot.

Wagner finished with 82.5 percent of the vote from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA), surpassing the 75 percent threshold necessary for enshrinement. The southpaw was one of three players named to the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 — joining a pair of first-ballot players in outfielder Ichiro Suzuki and starting pitcher CC Sabathia. 

Suzuki finished just one vote shy of being just the second unanimous entrant into the Hall (Mariano Rivera in 2019), earning 99.7 percent of the vote. Sabathia received 86.8 percent of the vote.

While Wagner only earned a cup of coffee with the Red Sox (1.98 ERA, 15 appearances, 22 strikeouts over 13.2 innings), there were several other former Boston players who earned votes on this year’s ballot. 

Dustin Pedroia made his first appearance on a Hall-of-Fame ballot, receiving 11.9 percent of the vote. 

Even though the 2008 AL MVP and two-time World Series champion has a ways to go if he wants to clear that 75 percent threshold, Pedroia still surpassed the five-percent threshold that allows him to remain eligible on the ballot moving forward. 

Once viewed as a potential lock for a spot in Cooperstown, Pedroia’s career was derailed by injuries. The last time the second baseman appeared in over 100 games was as a 33-year-old veteran during the 2017 season, appearing in just nine total games over the next two years before formally announcing his retirement in February 2021. 

Pedroia batted .299 with 140 home runs and 725 RBI during his big league career — earning the 2007 AL Rookie of the Year Award, four All-Star nods, and four Gold Glove Awards along with his aforementioned MVP and two championships. 

Former Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez landed on 34.3 percent of the ballots, but has to make up plenty of ground — given that next year will be his 10th and final year on the ballot. 

Ian Kinsler — who won a World Series with Boston in 2018 — earned 10 votes and landed on 2.5 percent of ballots, while Hanley Ramirez didn’t receive any votes in his first year of eligibility. Both Hanley Ramirez and Kinsler will not be on Hall of Fame ballots moving forward. 

The next closest player to the 75 percent threshold on this year’s ballot was Carlos Beltran, who landed on 70.3 percent of ballots in his third year of eligibility.
