Jazz Chisholm Jr

Jasrado Hermis Arrington Chisholm Jr. was born on February 1, 1998, in Nassau, Bahamas. His early exposure to baseball came through his grandmother, Patricia Coakley, who played shortstop for the Bahamian national softball team and started a baseball academy. Chisholm moved to the United States at age 13 to attend Life Prep Academy in Wichita, Kansas, where he also played basketball and football. He signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent in July 2015.

Chisholm’s professional career began in 2016 with the Missoula Osprey, where he displayed his talent by batting .281 with nine home runs and 13 stolen bases. His performance led to his recognition as the D-backs Minor League Player of the Year in 2018, having hit .272 with 25 home runs and 70 RBIs across Single-A Kane County and Single-A Adv. Visalia. He was traded to the Miami Marlins in July 2019 and made his MLB debut on September 1, 2020. During his time with the Marlins, he demonstrated significant power and speed, notably becoming the first Marlins player to be featured on the cover of MLB The Show ’23. He transitioned to center field in 2023, showcasing versatility.

In July 2024, Chisholm was traded to the New York Yankees. He made an immediate impact, hitting four home runs in his first three games with the team, a franchise first. Despite injuries, he concluded the 2024 season with a career-high .256 batting average, 24 home runs, 73 RBI, and 40 stolen bases. In 2025, he continued to achieve milestones, joining the 30–30 club, becoming the third Yankee in history to record at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a single season. Chisholm represents Great Britain in international baseball and is also committed to philanthropy through his Jazz Chisholm Foundation, supporting young athletes in Miami, New York, and the Bahamas.
