Four former Phillies featured on 2025 BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot

The 2025 Baseball Writers Association of America Hall of Fame ballot was released Monday afternoon and features four former Phillies: Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Bobby Abreu and Billy Wagner.

Of the four, Wagner has the best chance of earning election into the Hall of Fame this year. Wagner, the Phillies’ closer from 2004 to 2005, is entering his tenth and final season on the ballot. He received 73.8% of the vote in his ninth year on the ballot in 2024, five votes shy of the 75% threshold needed for election.

Utley debuted on the ballot in 2024 at 28.
