Rolen, who was in his sixth year of eligibility to vote, received 76.3% of the vote from the Major League Baseball Reporters Association. He will only be the 18th third baseman to receive such an honor, the least of any position.
Todd Helton (72.2%) and Billy Wagner (68.1%) were the two players who came closest to induction among the 27 athletes released.
According to the Major League’s official website, he is the player with the greatest increase in support from journalists, when just 10.2% of them endorsed his introduction in his first year of eligibility.
The induction ceremony is scheduled for July 23 in Cooperstown, New York.
