Jazz Chisholm Jr. was traded to the New York Yankees from the Miami Marlins on July 28, 2024, for three prospects Ever since that trade Chisholm has flourished in Yankees pinstripes. In the last seven days, Chisholm is hitting for a .320 average with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs.
Fantasy owners should keep an eye on the previous two months and the crucial playoff stretch and consider adding Chisholm to their lineups if he continues this pace. Let us examine how the Yankees should help Jazz Chisholm Jr. flourish.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. will benefit from the dimensions of Yankee Stadium
The most obvious benefit for Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the dimensions of Yankees Stadium and how the short porch in right field should help the lefty hit more home runs. Yankees Stadium has a right field dimension of 314 ft to the right field wall, which is notoriously why lefties have had the most success at that ballpark over the years. This should help Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s power numbers grow exponentially down the stretch and the foresight to a potential huge full season in Pinstripes in 2025.
Yankees Stadium will also help with some of the extra-base hits that aren’t homers as well if hit into the right-center field gaps as well, basically saying that the new Yankees third baseman will thrive with his power and speed abilities. The next reason is the lineup around Jazz will give him ample opportunities during the dog days of the baseball season.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. benefits because of Judge and Soto
The most obvious reason why Jazz Chisholm Jr. will be the hottest commodity of utility players for the rest of the way for fantasy purposes is the lineup he is surrounded by. Having probably the two best hitters in baseball Aaron Judge and Juan Soto will help Chisholm Jr. thrive more often than he did as a Marlin. Jazz will bring his power and speed to a lineup that will desperately appreciate more speed elements.
With them only having Anthony Volpe being the only speed threat before the addition of Chisholm Jr. Volpe and Chisholm, Judge and Soto will have more RBI opportunities, meaning more runs will be scored by Chisholm.
Chisholm’s hitting numbers and home runs have already and will continue to benefit from Judge and Soto because he’ll face more advantageous counts and great hitting situations throughout the rest of the season, and the Phillies series showed that potential with the home run swings that Jazz brings to New York.
Jazz definitely should reach the 20-20 club for sure this season where he already has 17 homers and 24 stolen bases. With this being said he has the potential if he can stay hot to get to the 30-30 club this year, but consistency will be the key for Chisholm. Fantasy Pros highlights the strikeout rate of 0.244 and his modest walk rate of 0.090 being the main cause of volatility of his production, and that is concerning numbers to look at but Judge and Soto should help Jazz be a better batter at the plate.
Final Thoughts
Jazz Chisholm Jr. will be a huge asset for the fantasy baseball playoffs especially if he continues his trends from the Phillies series. The potential of Chisholm’s impact is enormous for not only the Yankees as a whole, but the fantasy owners that could use a utility player that plays the outfield, and third base in starting lineups.
Chisholm will be in the 20-30 club midway through August if he stays hot and will end the season in the 30-30 club. Al of which will help all fantasy owners in their playoff matchups.
