Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Jazz Chisholm's 2025 season was a reminder of both his upside and volatility, as power-speed contributions were once again offset by durability concerns and streaky efficiency. His 2026 projections bake in similar power and speed totals with right around 600 plate appearances, reflecting ongoing availability risk. When on the field, his per-game fantasy production remains strong, particularly in steals. Chisholm is best approached as a ceiling play rather than a foundational early-round option, but qualifying at third base does bump him up a few spots on draft boards.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. avoids arbitration with Yankees

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the New York Yankees have avoided arbitration as Chisholm will make $10.2 million in 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Chisholm, who won't turn 28 until next month, enjoyed his first 30-30 season last year in his first full season with the Yankees. Chisholm, who has been in some trade rumors this offseason, hit a career-high 31 home runs and stole 31 bases a season ago. He is a career .248 hitter with 108 home runs and 130 stolen bases in 579 major league games. If Chisholm is not traded, expect him to be the starting second baseman again in New York.
