One week ago Monday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame released the 2023 ballot that will be voted on by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The list included five former Philadelphia Phillies players, including newcomer Jayson Werth.
Looking ahead to the 2024 ballot that will be released next year, a Phillies icon is set to join that group of potential inductees. Six-time All-Star Chase Utley, having retired retired after the 2018 season, will be eligible for the Hall for the first time in 2024.
Utley will have an interesting case for voters when his candidacy begins.
