I think Utley will get in over the coming years, just based on where his vote started and his momentum. I was surprised he was strong as he was in his first year on the ballot (28 percent) and he is at 47 percent right now in a year when four guys may be elected. The ballot will not always have so many guys will strong HoF cases.

By comparison, Rollins' HoF votes have barely moved. He started at nine percent in 2022, received 14 percent last year and is only at 16 percent this time around on the ballots so far.
