Jazz Chisholm Jr. put up his first 30-30 season during his first full year with the New York Yankees in 2025. In 2026, the second baseman is setting his sights much higher - 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, a feat only accomplished once in MLB history by Shohei Ohtani in 2024.
Why it matters
Achieving a 50-50 season would cement Chisholm's status as one of the most dynamic and talented players in baseball. It would also be a major coup for the Yankees, who were reportedly shopping the infielder this offseason as he enters the final year of his contract.
The details
Across his first six big-league seasons, the 28-year-old Chisholm has not come particularly close to either the 50-homer or 50-steal benchmarks. His career highs are 31 home runs and 40 stolen bases. Last year's production at a 162-game pace came in at approximately 38 home runs and stolen bases. If Chisholm can somehow pull off the 50-50 feat, it would be one of the rarest accomplishments in baseball history.
- Chisholm put up his first 30-30 season in 2025, his first full year with the Yankees.

What they’re saying
“Real life, let's just be realistic, I got all the tools for it. I have the speed, the power, the plate discipline, the eye at the plate, defense. I got everything to accumulate a 10-WAR season.”
— Jazz Chisholm Jr.
“You're looking at the second one.”
— Jazz Chisholm Jr.
“I feel like he's in a really good frame of mind. He's incredibly confident for good reason in his ability to go out there. Bottom line is, if he goes out there, goes to the post, does his thing, and hopefully keeps improving in his game, he's going to put himself in a really good position come the end of the season.”
— Aaron Boone, Manager
What’s next
If Chisholm is able to achieve the 50-50 feat, it would turn out to be a major coup for the Yankees, who were reportedly shopping the infielder this offseason as he enters the final year of his contract.
