Former Met and Yankee Carlos Beltran is among 14 newcomers to the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot that was released Monday.

Beltran was a nine-time All-Star in 20 seasons, including a seven-year stint with the Mets and a three-year stint with the Yankees. He finished his career with a .279 batting average, 435 home runs, 1,587 RBIs, 2,725 hits and 312 stolen bases.

As a member of the 2017 Astros, Beltran became involved in a team-wide sign-stealing scandal that ultimately forced him to resign as Mets manager on Jan. 16, 2020, just two months after he was hired.

Among the other newcomers are pitchers Huston Street, John Lackey, Francisco Rodríguez, Bronson Arroyo, Matt Cain and R.A. Dickey, who won the 2012 National League Cy Young Award as a Met. Outfielders Jayson Werth and Jacoby Ellsbury — a severe disappointment as a Yankee after signing a big free-agent deal before the 2014 season — and catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli also are on the ballot for the first time.

The 14 newcomers join a group of 14 holdovers from the 2022 ballot. David Ortiz was the only player elected to the Hall last year by the voting members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

The 2023 ceremony is scheduled for the weekend of July 21-24 in Cooperstown, New York, and the results will be announced Jan. 24. A candidate must receive 75% of the vote to be enshrined.

The holdovers from the 2022 ballot closest to induction were Scott Rolen (63.2% of the vote), Todd Helton (52.0%) and former Mets closer Billy Wagner (51.0%).

Players can remain on the ballot for up to 10 years as long as they received at least 5 % of the vote. This year marks the final chance for second baseman Jeff Kent, also a former Met, who is in his 10th year on the ballot. Kent received 32.7% of the vote in 2022, his highest percentage in nine tries.

Barry Bonds (66.0%), Roger Clemens (65.2%) and Curt Schilling (58.6%) fell off the ballot after 10 years of not being elected.

Bonds, the all-time home run leader with 762, and Clemens, who went 354-184 and won a record seven Cy Young Awards, would have been elected long ago if not for their suspected association with performance-enhancing drugs that made them an automatic “no” in the eyes of many voters.

Bonds, Clemens and Schilling, whose controversial comments in retirement likely have been the biggest reason the six-time All-Star and three-time World Series winner hasn’t been elected, will be considered for induction by the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee, which meets on Dec. 4, a day before the start of baseball’s annual winter meetings in San Diego.

Former Yankee Alex Rod-riguez, who hit 696 home runs in a 22-year career that included a full-year suspension during the 2014 season for PED use, also is among the 2022 holdovers after receiving 34.3% of the vote in his first year of eligibility.

Among the other notable holdovers are Andruw Jones (41.1%), Gary Sheffield (40.6%), Manny Ramirez (28.9%), Omar Vizquel (23.9%), Andy Pettitte (10.7%), Jimmy Rollins (9.4%), Bobby Abreu (8.6%), Mark Buehrle (5.8%) and Torii Hunter (5.3%).
