Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. Slump Deepens in Contract Year With Power Metrics Plunging

Statcast highlights steep drops across key power metrics that point to a real decline, not bad luck.

Overview

  • Chisholm, who was hitting .209 with a .625 OPS through 32 games on Sunday, has only three home runs and nine steals.
  • Statcast shows his barrel rate down 8.4 percentage points, one of the five largest declines among qualified hitters.
  • His expected slugging percentage has fallen by .151, the third-biggest drop in MLB, after a 23-game home run drought to open the season.
  • He is matching last year’s 27.9% strikeout rate and has been credited with minus-13 defensive runs saved at second base, according to The Sporting News.
  • MLB.com’s Thomas Harrigan labeled the start a “time to panic,” and with free agency coming after 2026, analysts note his slump could depress his market and even put him in trade talks if the Yankees slide by the deadline.
