The Baseball Hall of Fame voting for 2025 has come and gone, with five men being elected to join the immortals in Cooperstown. Naturally, one of the first things discussed after a new class is announced is who will be appearing on the ballot next year. Phillies legends Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins will once again appear, their third and fifth ballots respectively. They will be joined by their former teammate and fellow core member of the most successful period in Phillies history in Cole Hamels.
Hamels will make his first appearance on the ballot in 2026 as his last MLB appearance came in 2020 despite not officially retiring until 2023.
