I don't mean to get political but one important factor that gets overlooked is race. A majority of the writers that vote are white. I would bet that most are not racist but there is some unconscious bias that occurs within a majority. If Johan was Caucasian, I'm not saying he would get in but I bet he would get at least the five percent to stay on the ballot and their would be more comparison to Sandy Koufax, who retired early in his career.
