Chase Utley, a six-time All-Star and key player in the Phillies' 2008 World Series win, will be honored for his leadership and impact on the franchise's golden era.
- On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies announced that second baseman Chase Utley will be inducted into the Wall of Fame on Friday, August 7, to lead off the annual Alumni Weekend celebration.
- Nicknamed "The Man" by legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas, Utley anchored the Phillies' golden era from 2006 to 2011, establishing himself as one of the greatest second basemen in baseball history.
- During his 13-year tenure in Philadelphia, Utley posted 259 home runs and 1,025 RBIs while producing the iconic pump-fake throw during the clinching Game 5 of the 2008 World Series.
- Utley joins his longtime double-play partner Jimmy Rollins on the Wall of Fame, a recognition Phillies managing partner John Middleton called a testament to his "character, his hard work, his discipline, his resilience and perseverance."
- Eligible for seven more years of Hall of Fame voting provided he continues to secure at least 5% of the vote, Utley could be inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame as early as 2027.
