The New York Yankees center fielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. says “it’s going great” with the team after the trade from the Miami Marlins last week. Since his debut at the Bronx, Chisholm Jr. has boosted the team’s offensive power with extraordinary performance on the field.

Just within a few days with the Yankees, he became the first in the team to score 4 HRs in three games since his debut. The team had their slump days since the start of the month which finally seems to have come to a stop since Chisholm’s debut and Giancarlo Stanton returning to the lineup.

There were controversies on how well the 26-year-old could adjust to the team as many doubted his personality was suited for the NY Yankees locker room. However, the player himself put the rumors to rest, as he became a part of the team since Day 1.

...it’s very rare that someone doesn’t get along with me. I feel like I’m a nice guy…I’m not a guy to cause trouble, make trouble, or pick trouble.

He further added that he felt like he could “just be myself” and “they’ve accepted me” for who he is. Jazz Chisholm Jr. said that although it’s not been long, he has formed a bond with Aaron Judge, Stanton, Marcus Stroman, and Alex Verdugo.

I knew they’d have my back.

Aaron Judge compliments Jazz Chisholm Jr. on his performance

Since his debut with the New York Yankees, Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been on an absolute roll. In his debut, not only did he wear Alex Rodriguez’s No.13, but he also took Aaron Judge’s bat to hit in the innings. However, in a hilarious turn of events, it seemed like Chisholm Jr. did not like the weight of Judge’s bat.

Judge recently said that has spoken with Chisholm Jr. quite a few times in the past, and even with his former teammates. Despite his notorious personality, he came out impressed saying, “All I got back was positive things.”

He’s a great kid and a competitor. That’s what I love.

He further added that he knew Chisholm Jr would fit perfectly with the team as “he wants to win.” Being with the Marlins “where he’s not winning, so it could be tough.” However, now that he’s in the clubhouse “it’s gonna be a good fit.”
