Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Jasrado Prince Hermis Arrington "Jazz" Chisholm Jr. (born February 1, 1998) is a Bahamian professional baseball infielder and center fielder for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Miami Marlins. Chisholm signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent in 2015, and made his MLB debut in 2020 with the Marlins. He has been named an All-Star in 2022 and 2025. Chisholm has competed internationally for the Great Britain national baseball team.
Chisholm is from Nassau, Bahamas. He was drawn to baseball by his grandmother, Patricia Coakley, who played shortstop for the Bahamian national softball team; she taught him to hit at two years old. Chisholm moved to the United States at 12 years old to attend high school at Life Prep Academy in Wichita, Kansas. He played basketball and football in addition to baseball at Life Prep. After high school, he returned to the Bahamas to train at a sports academy.
Chisholm signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent in July 2015 for $200,000. He made his professional debut in 2016 with the Missoula Osprey, batting .281 with nine home runs, 37 runs batted in (RBIs), and 13 stolen bases in 62 games played. Chisholm spent 2017 with the Kane County Cougars but was limited due to injury. In 29 games for Kane County, he posted a .248 average with one home run and 12 RBIs. He began 2018 with Kane County and was promoted to the Visalia Rawhide in July. In 112 games between both teams, he batted .272 with 25 home runs and 70 RBIs. Chisholm began 2019 with the Jackson Generals.
On July 31, 2019, the Diamondbacks traded Chisholm to the Miami Marlins for pitcher Zac Gallen. Chisholm played for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp for the rest of the season. Over 112 games between Jackson and Jacksonville, Chisholm slashed .220/.321/.441 with 21 home runs, 54 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases. Chisholm was added to the Marlins' 40-man roster following the 2019 season.
Chisholm was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on September 1, 2020, and made his defensive debut that night against the Toronto Blue Jays. Chisholm's first at-bat was in the following game against Toronto on September 2. On September 6, Chisholm recorded his first career major league hit while facing the Tampa Bay Rays. Three days later, Chisholm hit his first career major league home run against the Atlanta Braves.
In 2021, Chisholm made the Marlins out of spring training as the team's starting second baseman. In 2021, he hit .248/.303/.425 with 18 home runs, 53 RBIs, and 23 stolen bases. He had the fastest sprint speed of all major league second basemen, at 29.1 feet/second.
By mid-season 2022, Chisholm was hitting for a .254 batting average, alongside 14 home runs, 45 RBIs, 39 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, and an on base plus slugging percentage of .860. He was the National League leader at his position in on base plus slugging percentage, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, (.535) and triples (4). Chisholm made the All-Star Game for the first time in his career, being named the starting second baseman for the National League. He became the first Bahamian-born player to make the All-Star Game roster. He did not play in the game, as he was placed on the injured list on June 29, due to what was then diagnosed as right lower back strain. On July 22, the Marlins stated that Chisholm had a stress reaction in his lower back and would miss at least six weeks of the season. On September 10, it was confirmed that Chisholm would be out for the rest of the season. In 60 games that season, he hit .254/.325/.535 with 14 home runs, 10 doubles, 4 triples, 45 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases.
Chisholm said that he was the target of significant hazing in the Marlins clubhouse. Miguel Rojas ruined multiple custom made cleats that belonged to Chisholm, cutting them with scissors and pouring milk in them. Chisholm criticized Rojas calling him a bad team captain and bad teammate saying that behavior like his shows lack of leadership in bringing rookie teammates down. Manager Don Mattingly called a team meeting in 2022 to try to resolve the issues.
