How Far Away is Jazz Chisholm From an Impact with the Miami Marlins?

Behind Miguel Rojas on the Miami Marlins organizational depth chart at shortstop lurks several exciting prospects, chief amongst them Jazz Chisholm.

Chisholm is a five-foot-11, 165 lb. lefty-batting and righty-throwing shortstop from Nassau, Bahamas. Born on February 1st, 1998, Chisholm signed through international free agency with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2015.

In 2016 for his first professional look, with the Missoula Ospreys in the Rookie-level Pioneer League, he hit .281/.333/.446 and clubbed nine homers with 37 RBI. He also stole 13 bases in 62 games at the lowest level in professional baseball.

A torn meniscus limited Chisholm to just 29 appearances in 2017, with the Single-A Kane County Cougars in the Midwest League.
