Jazz Chisholm continues to be one of the most prolific producers of home runs and steals in all of baseball since being traded to the New York Yankees midway through the 2024 season.

And in the 2025 season, he's keeping very exclusive company when you mix in Chisholm's ability to draw a walk.

Only two players so far this season have reached the 25 home run, 25 steal, 50 walk club, according to Baseball Reference's Katie Sharp:

Jazz Chisholm and Jose Ramirez.

Ramriez is a perennial contender for American League MVP, although he won't win it this year. Neither will Chisholm, but he's proven he deserves the title of star.

Chisholm, 27 years old, is up to 26 homers, 25 steals and 52 walks this season. He has an .829 OPS.

Ramirez, who turns 33 in a few days, has 26 home runs, 36 stolen bases 53 walks. His OPS is .864.

Chisholm started the season on fire, went through a very rough patch and then got hurt. 

But since getting back on the diamond, Jazz has been great. 

He gives the Yankees yet another reason to feel great about the future. He's a swaggering, slugging, speedy potential superstar.

Chisholm appears to have embraced his opportunity in the Bronx after leaving the Marlins. The Yankees' fanbase loves Chisholm's energy, and he returns that love.

And right now, he's having an incredible season.
