Joe Mauer’s Hall of Fame fate comes down to this: Did the former Twins star catch enough games?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:46:48 GMT

Going by the percentages, Joe Mauer comfortably ranks among the best catchers of all time. Some of his raw “counting” stats make it look less obvious, because Mauer stopped catching after he turned 30 because of injuries — notably a series of concussions that shortened his career. Mauer never had a chance to become a great compiler or accumulator of stats when compared to many of the 19 catchers in the Baseball Hall of Fame.For the first time, Mauer’s career is up for judgment by BBWAA voters, who have until Dec. 31 to mark their ballots and mail them back to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. (No faxes or emails allowed, please.) Having covered Major League Baseball since 1998, and more pertinently being a member of the BBWAA since 2013, I get to vote on the Hall of Fame for the first time this month. And I plan on voting for Mauer.Not everybody will, and he won’t get in until he reaches a 75 percent threshold. The BBWAA is historically conservative about...
