Chase Utley

Chase Utley
       “It’s back to the wall, its outa here! Chase Utley’s first major league hit is a grand-slam homerun,” said Harry Kalas in the session of 2003.
          Chase Utley has been “making hey” in major leagues since his debut on April 4th, 2003. Many announcers say that he is the best hitting second basemen in the MLB. In his 8 year career he has hit 173 home-runs and has 637 runs batted in. One thing he never gets much credit for is his sold fielding skills only have 86 errors in his 8 sessions at second base (keep in mind that there are 162 games a year). 
          Chase has also been known for his toughness, for example he has been hit by 125 pitches in his career, but he has never tried to knock over a catcher to be safe at home. He never goes out of the rules to succeed.
           “Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.” – Chase Utley
