Overview

  • Chisholm credits his turnaround to a 70% approach recommended by assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler, which emphasizes controlled swings and energy conservation.
  • Over four games since coming off the injured list, he has collected eight hits, two home runs, six RBIs and three stolen bases.
  • The reduced-intensity strategy has slashed his strikeouts and bolstered his on-base and slugging numbers compared to his early-season slump.
  • Manager Aaron Boone and captain Aaron Judge have lauded the simplified approach for allowing Chisholm to tap his natural power without overreaching.
  • Comfortable at both second and third base, Chisholm’s defensive versatility has helped the Yankees navigate roster adjustments.
