Yankees former All-Star OF named a top-10 trade deadline acquisition
Jasrado Prince Hermis Arrington Chisholm Jr. is back on the map.
Who is that, you may ask? Well, you may know him as Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the New York Yankees. But because of the way he has been balling out since joining the MLB’s most storied franchise, his full name gets put on display, and deservedly so.
The 26-year-old took only three years to reach his first MLB All-Star game in 2022 as a member of the Miami Marlins. Chisholm Jr. batted .254 with a stellar .860 OPS to go along with 19 home runs and 22 stolen bases, earning the illustrious honor. In retrospect, the Bahamian slugger can tell his former self to hold his beer.
Chisholm Jr. is not only in the midst of a new career year, but his brief time in New York has fueled it and pressed its foot on the proverbial gas. In 24 games for the Bronx Bombers, the flex center fielder and infield contributor has slashed an incredible .326/.368/.674 with a 1.043 OPS alongside nine home runs, 21 runs, 15 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases. Those are MVP numbers. If adjusted for the 125 games he’s played in 2024, Chisholm would be sitting on nearly 47 home runs, 109 runs, 78 RBIs, and 52 stolen bases.
