Yankees Report Cards: Jazz Chisholm Jr.

The writer issues Jazz Chisholm Jr. a D+ grade for his 2026 season with the New York Yankees, labeling his offensive performance disappointing during his walk year. Across 137 games, Chisholm hit .232 with 19 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 41 stolen bases after initially aiming for a 50-50 campaign. Despite strong baserunning and fielding metrics, a slow start and mediocre offensive contact defined his season.

With free agency approaching, the writer expects Chisholm has likely played his final game for the Yankees. Chisholm is eligible for a qualifying offer projected at $23.15 million, but the author doubts the team will extend one after benching him in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays.
