Ichiro Suzuki is poised for near-unanimous Baseball Hall of Fame induction, a first for a Japanese player.

Baseball Hall of Fame voting results are expected on Tuesday, with Ichiro Suzuki likely to be inducted with a near-unanimous vote, potentially becoming the first Japanese player and only the second unanimous selection after Mariano Rivera. Carlos Beltran, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner will also learn their fates. Suzuki, known for his .311 batting average and 3,089 hits, is a symbol of national pride in Japan and broke George Sisler’s single-season hits record in 2004.
