The former Miami Marlins star is making history in a short time with the new team

The New York Yankees lost to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night in Washington, but you can’t blame Jazz Chisholm Jr. who continues to produce for the Yankees.

The former Miami Marlins standout went 2-3 with a home run and a walk in a 5-2 rout. It was already his ninth home run since joining the Yankees at the trade deadline, which is even more impressive when you consider he also missed time with an injury.

According to @StatsCentre on social media, Chisholm Jr.’s homer also made team history.

Most home runs by a player in the first 20 games with the @Yankees franchise:
11- Glenallen Hill (2000)
9- Jazz Chisholm Jr. (2024 through 1 Wednesday night)
8- Gary Sanchez (2015-16)
8- Matt Carpenter (2022)
7- Kevin Maas (1990)
7- Luke Voit (2018)
7- Edwin Encarnacion (2019)

Between his season with Miami and New York, Chisholm Jr. has 22 homers, 64 RBI and 28 stolen bases. He has the biggest impact of anyone traded at the deadline. At 26, he’s been under team control for several years, too, so the Yankees can count on him moving forward.

In addition to his offensive prowess, Chisholm Jr. also provides the Yankees with defensive versatility. Can play second base, third base and outfield.

Since debuting in 2020, Chisholm Jr. is hitting .249 lifetime with 75 homers and 219 RBI. The Yankees are 78-56 and lead the American League East, while the Marlins are in last place in the National League East.
