If this is a season that started with the current rosters in 2023, then manual voting or not, it's pretty messed up. Trout, Verlander, Kershaw and Scherzer are all 1st or 2nd ballot inductees based on what they have done IRL to this point and all of that should be represented in their HOF credentials in the game. 5-6 years for those pitchers and they still aren't in? That's insane.
