The National Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed three more members into its hallowed halls Tuesday night as Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner were elected to Cooperstown by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Ichiro, the first Japanese-born player voted into the Hall, was a near-unanimous selection as he received 99.7% of the vote. Sabathia joined him as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and Wagner made it in his 10th and final year on the ballot. Fifteen others on the 28-player ballot received at least 5% of the vote and will be back on the 2026 ballot.

But that means 10 players are not coming back after falling short of that 5% threshold. Some of them didn't get even a single vote out of the 394 ballots cast.

But that doesn't mean they were undeserving of Hall of Fame consideration. These were great players -- perhaps the best at their position during their primes. They had fabulous seasons, lofty stats and memorable moments. Some will have their Cooperstown cases re-examined down the road by the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee.

But for now, let's give some shine to each of the 10 players who will no longer be on the BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot.

Each player is listed alongside their year on the ballot and career bWAR.

Ian Kinsler (1st year, 54.1)
Kinsler was never a league leader in any major hitting category, but his 994 runs from 2007-16 were the most by any player. His 48.5 WAR during that span was sixth most in MLB. Of the five players in front of Kinsler, there is one first-ballot Hall of Famer (Adrian Beltr¨¦), two players who are likely to be inducted once they are on the ballot (Miguel Cabrera and Albert Pujols), a second baseman with induction-worthy numbers but also connections to performance-enhancing drugs (Robinson Can¨®) and fellow 2025 ballot first-timer Dustin Pedroia, who received 11.9% of the vote this year.

Kinsler provided a lot of pop out of the leadoff spot and was a proven postseason performer. He recorded a .303/.413/.479 slash line over 119 at-bats as the Rangers won the American League pennant in 2010 and '11.

Curtis Granderson (1st, 47.2)
Granderson frequently made good use of his home ballpark's dimensions. In 2007 with the Tigers -- a season in which he posted a career-best 7.6 WAR -- Granderson had one of the more unique power-speed seasons in baseball history. He belted 23 homers and stole 26 bases, but he also legged out an MLB-high 23 triples thanks in part to spacious Comerica Park. He is one of four players since 1900 to notch a 20-20-20 season, joining Jimmy Rollins (also in 2007), Willie Mays (1957) and Frank Schulte (1911).

Granderson was traded to the Yankees a few years later and soon took advantage of the short right-field porch in the Bronx. He bashed 41 dingers in 2011 and then topped that with a career-high 43 the following season. He and Jason Giambi are the only Yankees to log back-to-back 40-homer campaigns in the Expansion Era (since 1961).

Troy Tulowitzki (1st, 44.5)
Tulowitzki collected 37.8 WAR during his 20s. Among primary shortstops who debuted in the Wild Card Era (since 1995), only Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Correa, Francisco Lindor, Nomar Garciaparra and Derek Jeter had more WAR before their age-30 season. Only A-Rod, Correa and Garciaparra had a better OPS+ than Tulowitzki during that span (125), and Tulo's defense earned him two Gold Gloves.

Of course, looking back on Tulowitzki's time in the Majors is bittersweet because injuries effectively halted his career when he was in his early 30s. But the fact remains that few shortstops have enjoyed a more productive prime over the past 30 years.

Ben Zobrist (1st, 44.5)
Although Zobrist didn't have one outstanding skill, he could do just a little bit of everything on the diamond. Need someone to fill in at a position? He played everywhere but catcher over the course of 14 seasons. Zobrist made his lone pitching appearance in the final MLB game and made Yadier Molina look foolish. Need a homer? He hit at least 20 in three seasons and bopped 167 overall. Zobrist also chipped in 116 stolen bases. And if you need a clutch hit in a crucial spot, he could do that, too.

Zobrist provided the game-winning hit in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series and was named Series MVP. Now, any knock that drives in the difference-making run of a Fall Classic is special. But for the Cubs, Zobrist's RBI double was 108 years in the making.

Russell Martin (1st, 38.8)
Martin suited up for four franchises -- Dodgers, Yankees, Pirates and Blue Jays -- and reached the postseason with all of them. He didn't have a ton of playoff success as he slashed just .191/.306/.327 across 199 at-bats, but he had one October moment with Pittsburgh that made for tremendous theater.

It came in the 2013 National League Wild Card Game against the Reds, the Pirates' first postseason game in 21 years. Bucs fans were ready for it as they quickly got under the skin of Cincinnati starter Johnny Cueto. With Martin batting in the second inning and mocking chants of "Cue-to" filling the air, the Reds' ace prepared to throw a 2-1 pitch and ... dropped the ball. The Pittsburgh faithful roared with delight.

The very next pitch? Martin crushed it to left for a solo homer. He put the cherry on top of the Pirates' win with another solo shot in the seventh. Martin and Bob Robertson (1971 NLCS Game 2) are the only players in Bucs history with a multihomer playoff performance.

Hanley Ramirez (1st, 38.0)
Not many hitters in recent memory excelled at such a young age like how Ramirez did from 2006-09. Those were his age-22 through age-25 seasons, and he finished with a .300 average and a 140 OPS+ in all but one of those years. In the Divisional Era (since 1969), Ramirez is among only 11 players who recorded at least three such seasons at 25 years old or younger. Ramirez's brilliant stretch included the 2006 NL Rookie of the Year Award, two Silver Slugger Awards, a 2009 NL batting title with the Marlins (.342) and a runner-up finish in that year's MVP voting.

Adam Jones (1st, 32.6)
The most indelible moment of Jones' career came outside of Major League Baseball: An epic catch in 2017 that spurred Team USA to its first World Baseball Classic championship. But everyone in Baltimore remembers Jones for being a team leader, a pie supplier and one of the very best players in the Orioles' storied history.

He swatted 263 homers for Baltimore, including 146 inside Oriole Park at Camden Yards. That's the most by any player. Over his 11 seasons with the O's, Jones racked up 1,781 hits and 2,929 total bases. He ranks fifth in franchise history in each of those categories, trailing only Hall of Famers Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr., Eddie Murray and George Sisler.

Brian McCann (1st, 32.0)
The majority of McCann's baseball career was a childhood dream come true. A native of Duluth, Ga., he grew up rooting for the Braves. In 2002, Atlanta made McCann a second-round Draft pick, and by 2005, he found himself playing for his favorite team. The homegrown talent soon became a bona fide star. From 2005-13 with the Braves, McCann paced all catchers in home runs (176), received seven All-Star nods and took home five Silver Sluggers.

From there, McCann journeyed to the Bronx, where he surpassed the 20-homer plateau in each of his three seasons with the Yankees. He then spent two seasons with the Astros and captured a World Series ring with them in 2017. Eventually, all roads led back home for McCann, who spent one more year behind the plate with Atlanta before retiring.

Carlos González (1st, 24.4)
CarGo has a lot in common with Hall of Famer and fellow former Rockies star Larry Walker. Sweet-swinging left-handed batters, they each won at least one batting title with Colorado. Gonz¨¢lez's came in 2010 when he batted .336. Walker was a three-time batting champ with the club (1998-99, 2001). They also obtained their career high in homers as a Rockie -- Gonz¨¢lez hit 40 dingers in 2015, and Walker clubbed an NL-best 49 during his 1997 MVP season.

But these multitime All-Stars did more than mash in the Mile High City. They were stellar defensive players who garnered a load of gold for their work in Coors Field's vast outfield. Gonz¨¢lez's three Gold Gloves are second only to Walker's five among Rockies outfielders.

Fernando Rodney (1st, 7.4)
Rodney pitched 17 MLB seasons, but he may not have been on the ballot without his 2012 accomplishments with the Rays. It was not only his best season, it was one of the greatest seasons from any relief pitcher: 76 appearances, 74 2/3 innings, five earned runs, 48 saves in 50 opportunities.

The right-hander played for 11 teams during his career and found a way to make his mark at many stops. He paced the Majors with 48 saves for the 2014 Mariners. He exceeded 30 saves with the Tigers in 2009 and with the D-backs in 2017. His half season with the Padres in 2016 was nearly flawless (one earned run allowed in 28 2/3 frames). Finally, Rodney went out a champion as his career ended with the World Series-winning Nationals in '19.
