Great Britain Eliminated From WBC at 0–3 as Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Struggles

The captain’s poor showing feeds questions about a polarizing Yankee entering a pivotal contract year.

Overview

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr., serving as Great Britain’s captain, finished pool play at .154 (2-for-13) with six strikeouts and one RBI.
  • USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported Chisholm as the only player booed during introductions versus Mexico, with jeers each time he batted.
  • Fans on social media mocked his pre-tournament vow to “shock the world” after the team went winless and was outscored 24–7.
