There are 14 new players up for election to the Hall of Fame this year, and while they won't all end up in Cooperstown, each had at least one Hall of Fame-quality season.

• Complete Hall of Fame coverage

Some will certainly get in -- as soon as this year -- and for others, this may end up being their only year on the ballot because they won't receive the necessary 5 percent of votes to stick around. Either way, this is a perfect chance to celebrate the peak season for each of this year's HOF ballot newcomers.

• All-time first-ballot Hall of Famers

Carlos Gonz¨¢lez
2010 (Rockies): .336/.376/.598, .974 OPS, 34 HR, 117 RBIs, 26 SB

CarGo's first full season was also unquestionably his best. A 24-year-old budding superstar in 2010, Gonz¨¢lez hit .336 with a .376 on-base percentage and a .598 slugging percentage -- each of which held up as his best single-season mark over his 12-year career. His 117 RBIs and 26 stolen bases were also career bests while his 34-homer season was topped only by his 40-homer campaign in 2015. Along with winning both a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger in 2010, Gonz¨¢lez finished third in NL MVP voting behind only Joey Votto and Albert Pujols.

Curtis Granderson
2011 (Yankees): .262/.364/.552, .916 OPS, 41 HR, 119 RBIs, 136 runs, 25 SB

Granderson logged career highs in slugging percentage (.552), OPS (.916), OPS+ (142), runs (136) and RBIs (119) in 2011. His 41 homers were just two shy of the career-best 43 he hit one season later, and he also racked up 25 stolen bases on his way to winning his lone Silver Slugger Award and finishing fourth in AL MVP voting.

F¨¦lix Hern¨¢ndez
2014 (Mariners): 15-6, 2.14 ERA, 248 strikeouts

Nobody will blame you if you pick King F¨¦lix's 2012 season in which he not only tossed five shutouts, but one of those outings accounted for one of the 24 perfect games in MLB history. Or if you want to roll with his '14 campaign in which he posted a 2.27 ERA while logging a career-best 249 2/3 innings on his way to winning the AL Cy Young Award. But we'll go with his '14 season, when he put up career bests in ERA, strikeouts and WHIP (0.92) despite finishing a close second to Corey Kluber in AL Cy Young voting.

Adam Jones
2012 (Orioles): .287/.334/.505, .839 OPS, 32 HR, 82 RBIs, 16 SB

Jones' 2012 and '13 seasons were almost interchangeable. He followed up his 32-homer, 16-steal season in 2012 by hitting 33 home runs with 14 stolen bases in '13. He saw a big jump in RBIs, driving in a career-high 108 in '13, but his OPS dipped a bit to .811. Jones also won a Gold Glove in each of those two seasons while playing all 162 games in '12 and 160 games in '13. Take your pick, but we give the slight edge to 2012.

Ian Kinsler
2011 (Rangers): .255/.355/.477, .832 OPS, 32 HR, 30 SB, 77 RBIs

Kinsler was a four-time All-Star, but his best performance arguably came during a non-All-Star 2011 season. He put up a career-best 32 home runs as part of a 30-30 campaign on his way to finishing 11th in AL MVP voting. Kinsler's 7.0 bWAR also held up his best single-season mark over his 14-year career.

Russell Martin
2007 (Dodgers): .293/.374/.469, .843 OPS, 19 HR, 87 RBIs, 21 SB

Martin did it all in his 2007 breakout season for the Dodgers, hitting .293 with 19 home runs, 21 stolen bases and an .843 OPS -- all while winning his only Gold Glove Award. Though he was a four-time All-Star and earned a share of MVP votes in 2013, '14 and '15, Martin's '07 campaign held up as his single-season bests in batting average, OPS, extra-base hits, stolen bases and RBIs.

Brian McCann
2006 (Braves): .333/.388/.572, .961 OPS, 24 HR, 93 RBIs

A seven-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger, McCann had quite a few seasons to take under consideration. The nod here, though, goes to his first full big league season in 2006. The catcher hit .333 with a .388 on-base percentage and a .572 slugging percentage -- all of which held up as personal bests over his 15-year career.

Dustin Pedroia
2008 (Red Sox): .326/.376/.493, .869 OPS, 17 HR, 54 doubles, 213 hits, 118 runs

Pedroia followed up his 2007 AL Rookie of the Year season with a dominant MVP campaign in '08. Just 24 years old at the time, the Red Sox legend put up personal bests in average (.326), hits (213), runs (118) and doubles (54). He also finished with 20 stolen bases and 83 RBIs while earning one of his four All-Star nods over his 14-year career.

Hanley Ramirez
2008 (Marlins): .301/.400/.540, .940 OPS, 33 HR, 35 SB, 125 runs

It'd be hard to go wrong picking any season from 2006-09 for Ramirez. He burst onto the scene as a 22-year-old in '06, racking up 51 stolen bases and adding 17 home runs on his way to winning the NL Rookie of the Year Award. Ramirez then stole 51 more bases in '07 while seeing his home run total increase to 29 and his OPS jump more than 100 points from .833 to .948. Ramirez essentially maintained that level of production for each of the next two seasons, hitting a career-best 33 home runs in 2008 before winning the batting title in '09 with a .342 average. We'll give the slight edge to '08 as it was his lone 30-30 season.

Fernando Rodney
2012 (Rays): 0.60 ERA, 48 saves, 76 K's in 74 2/3 IP

Rodney was a three-time All-Star, but his best season unquestionably came in 2012. The right-hander posted a 0.60 ERA and racked up 48 saves in one of the best seasons by a relief pitcher in MLB history. That 0.60 ERA is the second-lowest single-season ERA by any pitcher with at least 50 innings, trailing only Zach Britton's 0.54 ERA for the 2016 O's. Rodney's incredible season was enough to earn him consideration for both the Cy Young Award (fifth place) and MVP Award (13th in voting).

CC Sabathia
2008 (Cleveland/Milwaukee): 17-10, 2.70 ERA, 10 CG, 5 shutouts, 251 K's

Sabathia finished in the top 4 in Cy Young voting four times -- including winning the AL Cy Young Award in 2007. But the nod here goes to Sabathia's unforgettable '08 campaign in which he finished fifth in NL Cy Young voting despite playing only half the season with the Brewers. Following his midseason trade from Cleveland, Sabathia went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA over 17 starts with Milwaukee -- seven of which were complete games (including three shutouts). That miraculous run included making each of his final three starts on short rest to will the Brewers into the postseason. He had a 0.83 ERA in those three outings, capped by a complete-game victory in Game 162 in which he allowed just one unearned run.

Ichiro Suzuki
2004 (Mariners): .372/.414/.455, 262 hits, 36 SB

How can you pick just one season for Suzuki? It was hard not to just go with his first MLB season in 2001, when he won the batting title by hitting .350, stole a career-best 56 bases and had 242 hits en route to joining Fred Lynn as the only players to win MVP and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season. Instead, we went with Suzuki's '04 campaign in which he hit a blistering .372 and notched career bests in bWAR (9.2) and hits (262) while winning one of his 10 Gold Glove Awards.

Troy Tulowitzki
2009 (Rockies): .297/.377/.552, 32 HR, 20 SB, 92 RBIs

You really could have picked any season from 2009-11 for Tulowitzki. He hit .315 with 27 home runs and 95 RBIs in 2010 and followed it up by hitting .302 with 30 homers and 105 RBIs in '11. But that all came after he first put the league on notice in '09, when he piled up 32 homers, 20 stolen bases and a .930 OPS. With injuries largely derailing what seemed like a sure-fire HOF trajectory, that '09 campaign proved to be Tulo's lone 20-20 campaign.

Ben Zobrist
2009 (Rays): .297/.405/.543, .948 OPS, 27 HR, 17 SB

After playing sparingly over his first three seasons with the Rays, Zobrist burst onto the scene in a big way in 2009. He led the AL in bWAR (8.6) while racking up 27 home runs, a .405 on-base percentage, a .948 OPS and a 149 OPS+ -- all of which would hold up as career bests.
