Chase Cameron Utley (born December 17, 1978) is an American professional baseball second baseman who is a free agent. A native of the Greater Los Angeles area, he grew up in Long Beach, California, and attended UCLA. Utley is a six-time All-Star and was chosen as the second baseman on the Sports Illustrated All-Decade Team for the 2000s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All Decade Team: MLB )〕 He bats left-handed and throws right-handed. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies from 2003 to 2015, where he won the 2008 World Series, before he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
After becoming a permanent fixture as the Phillies' second baseman, Utley demonstrated versatility, spending some time at first base as well. As his fielding has improved over his career, Utley was seen in combination with Jimmy Rollins as one of the best middle-infield combinations in the NL, until Rollins was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in winter of 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chase Utley )〕 Utley was considered by fans to be a team leader of the Phillies, alongside Rollins and Ryan Howard. 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.〔()〕〔()〕〔()〕 Utley's seven career World Series home runs are the most for a second baseman, and he shares the single-series postseason record of most home runs with Reggie Jackson.〔()〕 He is also noteworthy for having participated in seven no-hitters, of which he was on the winning side in four.
