Thinking back to Spring Training, Jazz Chisholm Jr. won the second-base job over Isan Díaz, the former Marlins Minor League Player of the Year. Even though he wasn’t consistent at first, he finished pretty strong to claim the everyday spot.
So far, the young slugger is proving that was the right call for the Marlins. In the early going, Chisholm is torturing the opposition and destroying balls for extra-base hits, just like he did in Wednesday’s win against the Braves.
Chisholm finished Wednesday with seven hits across 27 at-bats in nine games.
