The 20 Best Players to Retire in 2018

11. Chase Utley

Chase Utley was one of the best second baseman in all of baseball during his 13 seasons playing for the Philadelphia Phillies. During that time, Utley won four Silver Sluggers and went to six All-Star Games.

Utley had a better baseball IQ than most players in the MLB throughout his career, as he constantly did the little things that helped his team win. Utley was one of the unquestioned leaders of the Phillies when they won the World Series in 2008.

Utley may not have the counting statistics to make his way into the Hall of Fame, but he had plenty of years in which he was that caliber of a player.
