'''Chase Cameron Utley''' (born December 17, 1978), nicknamed "'''the Man'''" and "'''Silver Fox'''", <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phillymag.com/news/2017/09/19/chase-utley-hates-silver-fox-nickname-phillies-dodgers |title=Chase Utley Hates Being Called "Silver Fox"  |publisher=Philadelphia |first=Joe |last=Trinacria |date=September 19, 2017 |access-date=November 16, 2021}}</ref> is an American former [[professional baseball]] [[second baseman]] who played in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) for 16 seasons, primarily for the [[Philadelphia Phillies]]. He also played for the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]]. He is a six-time All-Star, won a [[World Series]] with the Phillies in [[2008 World Series|2008]], and was chosen as the second baseman on the [[Sports Illustrated MLB All-Decade Team (2009)|''Sports Illustrated'' All-Decade Team]] for the 2000s.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/magazine/specials/2000s/12/03/mlb.all.decade.team/|title=All Decade Team: MLB|magazine=Sports Illustrated|access-date=July 14, 2013}}</ref> 
He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.

After becoming a permanent fixture as the Phillies' second baseman, Utley demonstrated versatility, spending some time at [[first baseman|first base]] as well. As his fielding improved, he and [[shortstop]] [[Jimmy Rollins]] were regarded as one of the best middle-infield combinations in the NL until Rollins was traded to the Dodgers in the winter of 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fantasysportshero.com/fantasy/baseball/chase-utley/|title=Chase Utley|publisher=Fantasy Sports Hero|access-date=July 9, 2009|archive-date=January 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090103205755/http://www.fantasysportshero.com/fantasy/baseball/chase-utley/|url-status=live}}</ref> Utley was considered by fans to be a team leader of the Phillies, alongside Rollins and [[Ryan Howard]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prosportsdaily.com/comments/quiet-leader-utley-swings-big-bat-163828.html |title=Quiet leader Utley swings big bat |last=Roberts |first=Kevin |date=October 23, 2008 |work=Camden Courier-Post |access-date=July 9, 2009 }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> and he has been noted for his leadership qualities with the Dodgers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2018/03/22/chase-utley-dodgers-most-important-veteran-justin-turner-injury/449030002/ |title=Chase Utley: Dodgers' 'most powerful voice' a critical cog, even at 39 |website=[[USA Today]] |access-date=November 12, 2019 |archive-date=November 12, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112175507/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2018/03/22/chase-utley-dodgers-most-important-veteran-justin-turner-injury/449030002/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/10/09/dodgers-chase-utleys-leadership/ |title=Dodgers Rave About Chase Utley’s Leadership « CBS Philly<!-- Bot generated title --> |date=October 9, 2017 |access-date=October 15, 2017 |archive-date=October 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171016014520/http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/10/09/dodgers-chase-utleys-leadership/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/20926457/dodgers-learned-ever-want-disappoint-chase |title=Dodgers have learned, 'you don't ever want to disappoint Chase'<!-- Bot generated title --> |date=October 7, 2017 |access-date=October 15, 2017 |archive-date=October 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171016014340/http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/20926457/dodgers-learned-ever-want-disappoint-chase |url-status=live }}</ref> Utley was known for his quiet understated demeanor, instead setting an example for teammates with his exhaustive preparation in the video room and the batting cage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/csn/phillies/The_moments_Chase_Utley_realized_Roy_Halladay_s_eminence-456273983.html |title=The Moments Chase Utley Realized Roy Halladay's Eminence - NBC 10 Philadelphia |access-date=December 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208122610/https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/csn/phillies/The_moments_Chase_Utley_realized_Roy_Halladay_s_eminence-456273983.html |archive-date=December 8, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="sports.espn.go.com">{{Cite news |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=4618541 |title=2009 World Series: Chase Utley saying little, except with his booming bat - MLB playoffs<!-- Bot generated title --> |newspaper=Espn.com |date=November 2, 2009 |access-date=October 29, 2015 |archive-date=November 17, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117022021/http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=4618541 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://articles.philly.com/2015-08-22/sports/65710902_1_chase-utley-kevin-camiscioli-ruben-amaro-jr |title=Archives - Philly.com<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=October 29, 2015 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304094425/http://articles.philly.com/2015-08-22/sports/65710902_1_chase-utley-kevin-camiscioli-ruben-amaro-jr |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.delcotimes.com/article/DC/20150821/NEWS/150829913 |title=Rich Westcott: Chase Utley will be missed by Phillies fans, and animal lovers, too<!-- Bot generated title --> |date=June 14, 2000 |access-date=October 29, 2015 |archive-date=November 17, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117015651/http://www.delcotimes.com/article/DC/20150821/NEWS/150829913 |url-status=live }}</ref> He has been criticized by some former players for an overly aggressive baserunning style.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/ruben-tejada-chase-utley-slide-dirty-dodgers-mets-nlds/jnzgga9gbm5q1v6o4ar2i26l4#:~:text=Mets%20shortstop%20Ruben%20Tejada%20suffered,part%20of%20the%20former%20group|title=Ruben Tejada still hasn't forgiven Chase Utley for dirty slide

By the end of 2004, it became evident to management that Utley was the team's future second baseman (Utley often credits Tom Gresh for helping him improve his hitting).

During the seventh inning of Game 5, Utley faked a throw to first, then threw [[Jason Bartlett (baseball)|Jason Bartlett]] out at home for the third out in a play later described as having saved the Series for the Phillies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20090213_How_the_defining_play_unfolded_for_the_Phillies.html |title=How the defining play unfolded for the Phillies |date=February 13, 2009 |first1=Frank |last1=Fitzpatrick |first2=Jim |last2=Salisbury |access-date=March 13, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090319054617/http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20090213_How_the_defining_play_unfolded_for_the_Phillies.html |archive-date=March 19, 2009 |url-status=live  }}</ref> The fans voted his fake and throw to home plate in Game 5 as the [[This Year in Baseball Awards#Award winners|"This Year in Baseball Awards" Postseason Moment of the Year]].<ref>'''''Go to''''' [http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/awards/y2008/tyib/index.jsp 2008 This Year in Baseball Awards] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903063433/http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/awards/y2008/tyib/index.jsp |date=September 3, 2011 }} '''''and click on''''' "Postseason Moment" for results and '''video'''.

====2010====
On June 29, Utley was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained thumb. He was voted into the [[2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] as the starter at second base (for the fifth consecutive year), but was unable to play due to injury.

Utley finished the 2011 regular season having scored 54 runs, hitting safely 103 times (including 21 doubles, 6 triples, and 11 home runs), with a .259 batting average.

On October 10, 2015, during the second game of the [[2015 National League Division Series]], Utley made what some consider a dirty slide into [[Rubén Tejada]] of the [[New York Mets]] in an attempt to break up what might have been an inning-ending [[double play]], fracturing Tejada's right [[fibula]] in the collision.

In February 2016 in response to Utley's slide into Tejada, the [[Major League Baseball|MLB]] and the [[Major League Baseball Players Association|MLB Players Association]] agreed that "slides on potential double plays will require runners to make a bona fide attempt to reach and remain on the base. Runners may still initiate contact with the fielder as a consequence of an otherwise permissible slide. A runner will be specifically prohibited from changing his pathway to the base or utilizing a 'roll block' for the purpose of initiating contact with the fielder."
