South Asia Baseball didn’t add anyone into the Hall of Fame in 2033, the first empty class since 2013. SP Harpal Kumaragupta came painfully close to the 66% requirement on his second ballot, but missed at 65.4%. CF Chris Saandeep was also close with 62.5% for his eighth try. The other guy above 50% was SP Siddhant Shakya with 54.8% for his sixth go. The best debut was LF Rahul Anand at a measly 23.9%.

Among those dropped after ten failed ballots was closer Khon Aye Ko, who got as close at 59.8% in his debut and ended with 42.6%. He won two Reliever of the Year awards, but was perhaps overlooked since he bounced around so much in his later years. Ko had 339 saves and 414 shutdowns, 2.06 ERA, 958.2 innings, 1645 strikeouts, 221 walks, 173 ERA+, 56 FIP-, and 36.6 WAR. He ranks 13^th in saves as of 2037, but didn’t quite have the same dominance as the other inducted closers.

SP Tilan Ghai also got dropped after debuting at 44.9% and ending with only 18.8%. Ghai seemed well on his way after his first six seasons with two Pitcher of the Year awards and two ERA titles, while also leading four times in WAR and thrice in strikeouts. He never made it a full season after that due to numerous major injuries. Ghai finished with a 127-66 record, 2.91 ERA, 1822.1 innings, 2508 strikeouts, 132 ERA+, 71 FIP-, and 50.7 WAR. He certainly goes down as one of SAB’s great “what if?” guys.

SAP Zahid Islam debuted at 42.2%, but ended with only 10.3%. He was a pretty firm “Hall of Pretty Good” level pitcher with some nice longevity, but little for awards. Islam had a 198-144 record, 3.25 ERA, 3080.2 innings, 3342 strikeouts, 549 walks, 110 ERA+, 92 FIP-, and 48.9 WAR.

It was a similar story for D.J. Govindarajulu, peaking at 30.8% in his debut and ending with only 6.6%. He did notably lead in strikeouts thrice, but bounced around between eight teams. Govindarajulu had a 160-141 record, 3.45 ERA, 2757.1 innings, 3817 strikeouts, 638 walks, 106 ERA+, 90 FIP-, and 47.7 WAR. He ranks 14^th in Ks as of 2037, but he allowed a lot of home runs and hurt his overall value.
