Over 124 combined games this season, including 101 with the Miami Marlins before the trade, Chisholm is hitting .263/.331/.457, with 22 homers, 64 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, and a 116 wRC+. Although he was a league-average hitter with Miami, his performance with the Yankees has significantly boosted his overall metrics.
In just 23 games with the Yankees, he has already hit nine homers with 14 RBIs and stolen eight bases. His walk rate has dropped by about 3%, but he is hitting .326/.368/.674, with a 190 wRC+. After posting 1.7 WAR with Miami, he has already logged 1.5 WAR in only 23 games, underscoring his value to the Bombers.
A Game-Changing Acquisition
- General manager Brian Cashman has struggled with trades over the past few years, but the acquisition of Chisholm looks like a long-term success. Chisholm can help solidify centerfield, second base, and now third base.
