Philly Legends Chase Hall of Fame in 2026 Ballot
16 Jan
Summary
- Chase Utley gaining significant Hall of Fame ballot support in 2026.
- Cole Hamels shows strong debut on the Hall of Fame ballot.
- Jimmy Rollins' Hall of Fame vote percentage steadily increasing.
The 2026 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot features three prominent members of the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies championship team: Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, and Jimmy Rollins. All three are building momentum towards potential induction, though current vote tallies on revealed ballots suggest they may fall short of the 75% threshold this year.
Chase Utley, in his third year of consideration, has seen a substantial increase in support, currently tracking at 68% on public ballots. Recognized for his sustained excellence both offensively and defensively, Utley was a six-time All-Star and a key player during the Phillies' dominant run from 2007-2011.
Pitcher Cole Hamels is making his Hall of Fame ballot debut with promising early support, tracking ahead of other notable first-time candidates. Despite a moderate win total of 157, his adjusted ERA and stellar postseason performance in 2008, where he was World Series MVP, bolster his case. Jimmy Rollins, a four-time Gold Glove winner and the 2007 NL MVP, is also steadily increasing his vote percentage in his fifth year on the ballot.
