New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. had an excellent year in 2025, providing the team with much-needed depth and taking a step forward in his first full season in the Bronx.
Although the season ended in disappointment with an early ALDS loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the offense was not the reason why, and Chisholm was a major part of that production.

The 27-year-old infielder delivered a rare 30/30 season, swiping 30 bases and launching 30 home runs. He showcased his ability to change the game with both power and speed, a skill set heavily sought after across the league. Chisholm posted a .242 batting average, .332 on-base percentage and .813 OPS across 130 games.
His blend of athleticism and impact earned him an All-Star selection and a Silver Slugger Award by season’s end, cementing his place as one of the Yankees’ most valuable contributors.

Known for his vibrant personality, he has long balanced his on-field talent with creative pursuits off the field. Music has been a passion throughout his life, and he has frequently used social media to showcase his lifestyle, fashion and ventures to fans.
On Friday, Chisholm announced that he is taking those efforts a step further by creating a new social media account dedicated specifically to his music and lifestyle content. He explained the decision directly to his followers.
“Aye yall go follow my new page if yall want to follow my lifestyle and music! There will be no more lifestyle content on this page it’s about to become strictly business so if you do want some swag, or some aura or even good music yall go follow ya boy cause it’s about to only be baseball!” he wrote on his Instagram story.

For Chisholm, the offseason is not just about preparing for another year on the field but also about expanding his reach and influence away from it.
His willingness to share his passions beyond baseball highlights the personality that has made him one of the sport’s most recognizable young stars.
The 2026 MLB season will be a pivotal one for Chisholm, as it marks the final year of his current contract. Reports this offseason have suggested that the Yankees could explore trading him if they are not prepared to commit to a long-term extension.
