Yankees' Jazz Chisholm reveals why he Euro-steps after every home run he hits image

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Knows how to have a good time on the baseball field.

In very few ways is that more apparent than when the New York Yankees star hits a home run.

When Chisholm crosses home plate, every time, he does a Euro step.

That's a basketball move, in which a player driving to the basket sidesteps one way, then back the other way, often sneaking past the defender with the misdirection. It's a move that the likes of Manu Ginobli and James Harden have made famous.

Chisholm does it at the end of his home runs, dodging around an invisible defender in front of home plate.

And in a new video shared by SNY, Chisholm revealed why -- it's something he just does in his every-day life, too.

"When I was 12 years old, I used to go through the hallways and whenever I would walk past someone, I would euro-step them and do a shot," Chisholm said. "I still to it to people walking around the street today."

Chisholm gets to do this celebration plenty. In 2025, he hit a career-high 31 home runs. He has 108 MLB home runs through 579 career games between the Marlins and Yankees.

Chisholm hit his career-high in just 130 games last season, so if he can stay healthy for a full season, there might be even more Euro-stepping in his future.
