Sanchez : Among the many positives to come out of the Yankees’ sweep of the Red Sox was the first homer of the year from Jazz Chisholm Jr. , who saw his OPS rise almost 60 points during the series. Chisholm credited a small mechanical tweak as a possible reason for his improved play over that span, saying that he opened up his stance and backed off the plate a little bit.
“Probably his best group of at-bats, especially off some tough lefty matchups there,” Aaron Boone said of Chisholm this week. On cue, Chisholm went out and had his best game of the year in last night’s demolition of the Astros, reaching base four times and hitting his second homer. Let’s hope this version of Chisholm is here to stay.
