The Asian Baseball Federation had three Hall of Fame inductees on their first ballot for the 2032 class, captained by 1B Habib Saquib at a near unanimous 99.0%. SP Ali Mehrjui was a very strong #2 at 87.3% and LF Shahid Safaq got in at 75.9%. At 62.5%, SP Qabir Sabiha narrowly missed the 66% requirement for his debut. SP Ahour Sabbari was also close on his second ballot at 61.6%. Also cracking the 50% mark was CL Raghid Yazdani at 53.7% for his second go and 3B Timur Tyan with a 53.3% debut.

SP Laith Saleh fell off after ten ballots, getting as close as 55.7% in 2025 before ending at a mere 5.4%. He had a 17-year run with Istanbul with a 207-168 record, 3.34 ERA, 3423 innings, 3379 strikeouts, 584 walks, 103 ERA+, 92 FIP-, and 57.7 WAR. Saleh also had a 3.02 playoff ERA over 104.1 innings, helping the Ironmen win it all in 2007 and 2008. He lacked accolades and black ink though with the advanced stats suggesting sustained above averageness and a Hall of Pretty Good resume for Saleh.

Muqtadir Mehmood also made it ten ballots, peaking with a 52.9% debut and ending with only 3.5%. He had a 13-year career, but did lose some ABF tallies with a four-year MLB run in the middle. Mehmood won Reliever of the Year twice with 275 saves, 1.70 ERA, 694.1 innings, 1130 strikeouts, 160 walks, 185 ERA-, 49 FIP-, and 29.6 WAR. The metrics were definitely there, but Mehmood needed a few more years of ABF accumulations to reach the benchmarks the voters wanted.

Habib Saquib – First Base – Tehran Tarpons – 99.0% First Ballot

Habib Saquib was a 6’0’’, 200 pound switch-hitting first baseman from Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city. Saquib was one of the all-time great home run hitters, hitting 36+ in all 16 of his full seasons. He had 13 seasons with 40+ dingers and breached 50+ four times. Saquib was also a good contact hitter with a decent eye for drawing walks, but he had a terrible strikeout rate.

Saquib had strength against both sides, but did post better numbers facing right-handed pitching (.967 OPS, 169 wRC+) compared to lefties (.872 OPS, 149 wRC+). His gap power was also pretty good with 35 doubles per his 162 game average, although Saquib rarely got triples partly due to terrible baserunning and speed.

While that sluggishness meant weaker range, Saquib had a steady glove. The career metrics gave him an exactly average 1.000 EFF, but he had the reputation of being a great defender. Saquib won five Gold Gloves with three from 2019-21, then two from 2023-24. Excellent durability also helped that reputation, starting 150+ games each year from 2012-25.

Saquib was also a high character individual, earning the respect and admiration of peers. He was a team captain with stellar leadership skills and a tireless work ethic. Those personality traits and lots of dingers made Saquib absolutely beloved by ABF fans. He was one of the biggest idols back in his native Pakistan despite playing the vast majority of his pro career in Iran. The Iranians likewise adopted Saquib as a cherished favorite.

From 2013-26, Saquib was a steady starter for Pakistan in the World Baseball Championship. In 146 games, he had 105 hits, 72 runs, 18 doubles, 40 home runs, 83 RBI, .210/.318/.489 slash, and 4.6 WAR. Saquib notably had 10 homers, 16 RBI, and 14 runs in Pakistan’s 2021 runner-up campaign. They had never been to the finals previously, falling 4-2 in the World Championship to Brazil.

Saquib’s time in Iran started as a teenager with a developmental deal signed with Tehran in September 2005. He spent the better part of six years in the capital at the Tarpons academy. Saquib debuted in 2009 at age 20 but struggled in 33 pinch-hit plate appearances. He was back in developmental for all of 2010, then saw 25 games and six starts in 2011 with weak results. Saquib improved enough that winter though to secure the starting job in 2012, which he held through 2020 with Tehran.

The Tarpons had been terrible to start the 21^st Century, but emerged as a contender as Saquib and fellow 2032 inductee Shahid Safaq arrived to anchor the lineup. 2011 ended a 17-year playoff drought and started a nine-year streak. Saquib was only a backup in 2011, which saw a West League pennant for Tehran and an ABF Championship loss to Faisalabad. The Tarpons had three more wild cards from 2012-14, falling in the first round in 2012 and 2014. In 2013, they fell in the WLCS to Baku.

Each of Saquib’s starting seasons with Tehran was worth 6+ WAR. He led in runs scored in 2014 and 1015, doubles in 2016, and in homers, RBI, total bases, slugging, OPS, and WAR in 2017. Saquib earned 2017 MVP honors with 52 homers, 114 RBI, 1.022 OPS, and 8.9 WAR. He also had OPS above one in 2013 and 2014, taking third in 2013’s MVP voting. For Tehran, Saquib had Silver Sluggers from 2015-18. The Tarpons quickly realized what they had, giving Saquib an eight-year, $54,300,000 extension after the 2013 season.

Tehran had an outstanding 115-47 season in 2015 (a new ABF wins record), but suffered a stunning first round playoff exit to Shiraz. To this point, Saquib’s career playoff numbers were underwhelming and he was an abysmal 0-18 with 8 Ks in 2015. He would redeem himself though in 2016 as Tehran won its first-ever ABF Championship. The Tarpons finished 102-60, beating Adana in the WLCS and Dushanbe in the finals.

In the playoffs, Saquib had 13 hits, 6 runs, 4 double, 1 homer, 3 RBI, and 12 walks. He fared much better in the Baseball Grand Championship as Tehran finished 11-8, one of five teams tied for fifth. Saquib had 14 hits, 11 homers, 13 RBI, 15 runs, .986 OPS, and 1.1 WAR.

The Tarpons followed that by breaking the wins record at 116-46 in 2017. They avoided 2015’s fate and won it all, defeating Asgabat in the final to repeat as ABF Champion. Saquib was again merely decent in the playoffs with .730 OPS and 0.3 WAR, but his MVP season was a big reason Tehran had arguably ABF’s best-ever team to that point.

On the world stage, Tehran again was 11-8, one win short of the title and one of five teams tied for fourth. Saquib again had better BGC results than ABF playoff results with 12 hits, 14 runs, 6 homers, 8 RBU, .946 OPS, and 0.8 WAR. Saquib was third in 2018’s MVP voting and maintained his steady production into his 30s. 2017 was the peak though for Tehran, who had first round exits as a wild card in 2018-19.

In his playoff career for the Tarpons, Saquib played 76 games with 54 hits, 28 runs, 15 doubles, 10 home runs, 21 RBI, 25 walks, .224/.322/.411 slash, 113 wRC+, and 1.4 WAR. Even if the totals were a bit mid, Saquib is forever beloved in Tehran as the captain who delivered their first-ever ABF titles and a repeat. Saquib’s #6 uniform would unsurprisingly be retired at the end of his playing days.

Saquib’s last season with Tehran was still good individually in 2020, but the Tarpons collapsed at 68-94. A rebuild was in order and Saquib was entering the last year of his deal. As part of an offseason fire sale, Saquib was traded to Bishkek for prospects. One of them was SS Yusif Sadigov, who was a solid defensive starter for about a decade. Overall for Tehran, Saquib had 1478 games, 1479 hits, 858 runs, 324 doubles, 393 homers, 968 RBI, 518 walks, .287/.365/.587 slash, 175 wRC+, and 68.2 WAR.

The Black Sox were the 2020 ABF Champion and hoped Saquib could solidify a dynasty run. Bishkek went 104-58 and won a division title in 2021 and Saquib certainly did his job, winning his second MVP, a Silver Slugger, and Gold Glove. He led the EL in homers (57), runs (113), total bases (409), slugging (.691), OPS (1.071), wRC+ (224), and WAR (9.4). The runs, total bases, slugging, OPS, wRC+, and WAR would all be career bests, as would his 188 hits, 46 doubles, and .318 average.

Saquib had a decent postseason run with an .805 OPS, 151 wRC+, and 0.4 WAR, but Bishkek’s repeat bid was denied with an East League Championship Series loss to Faisalabad. The Black Sox were unable to reach a long-term agreement with Saquib, making him ultimately a one-year rental. He now entered free agency for the first time at age 33. Saquib made the move back to Iran with Tabriz on a five-year, $63 million deal. The Tiger Sharks had been the WL’s top seed in 2021 at 109-53, but had suffered a first round exit. They were also amidst a six-year playoff streak, having won the ABF title and Grand Champion honors in 2019.

In 2022, Saquib had a career and league best 60 home runs along with a personal best of 142 RBI, finishing second in MVP voting and winning a Silver Slugger. In this season, he was used as a designed hitter. Saquib was back to first base and won his seventh and final Silver Slugger in 2023. He remained a steady force in the middle of the lineup, but his overall hitting was down from the prime years with fewer walks and more strikeouts.

Tabriz had the top seed again in 2022, but lost the WLCS to Baku with Saquib missing part of the series to a strained hamstring. The Tiger Sharks were a 92-70 wild card in 2023, but got hot in October and got revenge over the Blackbirds to win the pennant. Tabriz then upset reigning champ Bishkek to win their second ABF Championship. Saquib’s playoff stats again were surprisingly mid with a .684 OPS, 87 wRC+, and 0.0 WAR.

Yet again, Saquib fared better on the Baseball Grand Championship stage with 17 hits, 10 runs, 7 homers, 15 RBI, .889 OPS, 152 wRC+, and 0.8 WAR. Tabriz had stunned the world by taking Grand Champion in 2019, but 2023 saw an 8-11 finish. The Tiger Sharks had a first round exit in 2024, the final appearance of a nine-year playoff streak. They missed the cut on a tiebreaker in 2025, then fell below .500 in 2026.

Saquib made history on June 29, 2025 with a four home run game against Isfahan. He became the fifth in ABF history with a four homer game and his seven RBI in the game got him to 1500 for his career. Saquib was the fifth to reach that mark and had been the fifth to join the 600 home run club the prior year. The all-time marks of 683 homers by Ali Sungu and 1685 RBI by Petri Viskari both seemed reachable considering Saquib’s durability and consistency.

In 2026, Saquib had his weakest season in ABF with .815 OPS, 120 wRC+, 2.3 WAR and 215 strikeouts. His 36 home runs and 86 RBI were also lows, losing about a month to back soreness. However, Saquib got to 686 career homers, passing Sungu to become ABF’s all-time home run king. He got to 1653 RBI, still 32 short of Viskari’s RBI record.

For Tabriz, Saquib played 774 games with 789 hits, 453 runs, 156 doubles, 236 home runs, 559 RBI, 235 walks, 976 strikeouts, .268/.336/.568 slash, 137 wRC+, and 22.6 WAR. Saquib wanted to continue to pass the RBI record, but most teams thought he was cooked at this point. Even with the respect he garnered, teams felt his value and price tag wasn’t worth it at this point.

Thus, Saquib’s ABF tenure ended with the 2026 season. His reign as home run king was also brief with Hakan Mocuk and Sultan Han both passing him and reaching 700+ in the 2030s. Saquib’s career playoff stats saw 111 games, 85 hits, 45 runs, 25 doubles, 18 home runs, 43 RBI, .225/.310/.435 slash, 113 wRC+, and 2.1 WAR. Despite that, you’d find few calling him a playoff choker since he had three championship rings on his hand.

Saquib wasn’t done with pro baseball yet, going to the Arab League on a two-year, $8,880,000 deal with Khartoum. He was still serviceable in 2027 in Sudan with 44 homers, 94 RBI, .905 OPS, 126 wRC+, and 2.7 WAR. Saquib retired after one year there shortly after his 39^th birthday. For his combined pro career, he had 2543 games, 2590 hits, 1517 runs, 547 doubles, 730 homers, 1747 RBI, 831 walks, 2920 strikeouts, .282/.355/.587 slash, 164 wRC+, and 102.9 WAR.

In ABF, Saquib had 2412 games, 2456 hits, 1424 runs, 526 doubles, 33 triples, 686 home runs, 1653 RBI, 804 walks, 2738 strikeouts, .282/.357/.587 slash, 166 wRC+, and 100.2 WAR. As of 2037, Saquib ranks 25^th in games, 13^th in runs, 23^rd in hits, 7^th in total bases (5106), 22^nd in doubles, 3^rd in homers, 4^th in RBI, 26^th in walks, 10^th in strikeouts, and 15^th in WAR among position players.

Among those with 3000+ plate appearances, his .944 OPS ranks 24^th. Saquib also sits 57^th in OBP and 22^nd in slugging. He’s definitely on the short-list for the Asian Baseball Federation best-ever power hitters and fits nicely among the inner-circle of Hall of Famers. Saquib got a near unanimous 99.0% to captain the three-player 2032 class.
