The Philadelphia Phillies have announced that Chase Utley, a fan favorite and likely future Hall of Famer, will be inducted into the team's Wall of Fame on August 7, 2026. Utley, who spent 13 of his 16 MLB seasons with the Phillies, is the latest in a long line of franchise legends to be honored with this distinction.

Why it matters

Utley's induction into the Phillies Wall of Fame comes as he continues to gain momentum in his push for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The six-time All-Star and key member of the Phillies' 2008 World Series championship team has seen his Hall of Fame voting percentage rise in recent years, and this honor from the team further cements his legacy as one of the greatest players in Phillies history.

The details

Utley, who played second base for the Phillies from 2003 to 2015, put up impressive numbers during his time with the team, finishing with 1,623 hits, 346 doubles, 49 triples, 233 home runs, 916 RBIs, and an .847 OPS. His 62.0 bWAR (Baseball-Reference Wins Above Replacement) ranks him among the best players to ever wear a Phillies uniform.
