Chisholm has been fantastic in the Bronx, but the stats show that he's been even better.
Ironically, that's what many fans are doing when praising the exciting 26-year-old; even though Chisholm's offensive production has spiked exponentially, there's been more to him that meets the eye. In fact, he's evolving into a five-tool player., Chisholm is currently having the best season of his young career with 3.4 wins above replacement, which is almost a full win higher than his previous best .
Chisholm's speed has always been one of his biggest advantages as a player, but the impact his baserunning has had on the Yankees is monumental. 10 of his 32 stolen bases this year have come in a Yankee uniform; what makes it eye-popping, though, is that Chisholm has 10 stolen base attempts in pinstripes, and has yet to be caught.
Finally, while everyone talks about Chisholm's offensive production and how good it's been, the underlying stats are even better. He has nine home runs in just 24 games as a Yankee; despite having the Short Porch at home, he actually has more homers on the road . In addition to his power, Chisholm has a hit in 19 of his 24 games, with 10 of them being multi-hit games. This cumulates in a .333/.374/.667 slash line, a .438 wOBA, and a 190 wRC+.
The best part about Chisholm's incredible play is that the Yankees will have him for at least two more seasons; he won't be a free agent until 2027. Given his MVP-caliber performances in less than half a season in the Bronx, Yankee fans should be eager to see Chisholm for a full season and beyond.Joe Najarian is a Rutgers University graduate from the Class of 2022.
