2022 Marlins Season Preview: Jazz Chisholm Jr.
There was no Marlins player who had a more exciting start to the 2021 season than Jazz Chisholm Jr. Acquired in the Zac Gallen trade in 2019, Chisholm was lauded for his speed, fielding, and power. In April ‘21, the then-23-year-old flaunted all those tools in posting a .969 OPS, 4 home runs, and 9 stolen bases.
For a Marlins organization that perennially churns out exciting pitchers, Chisholm represented the first young Major League bat that the Fish could be excited about since Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich. Bearing chains and dyed-blue hair, he marketed himself exceptionally well, too.
