The lone voter who snubbed Ichiro Suzuki on the 2025 Hall of Fame ballot remains anonymous.

All 321 members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America who allowed their ballots to be made public on Tuesday voted for the Japanese outfielder.

Suzuki's name appeared on 393 of 394 ballots when the results were announced last month.

Suzuki, 51, and the other members of the Class of 2025 -- CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner plus classic-era committee selections Dave Parker and Dick Allen -- will be inducted in Cooperstown, N.Y., on July 27.

New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera remains the only unanimous selection, selected on all 425 ballots in 2019.

The Hall of Fame's rules allow each voter the option to make his or her ballot public.
