Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Giants.
The 26-year-old has heated up quickly. Chisholm began the season with a 3-for-23 stretch, but over nine games since he's batting .324 (11-for-34) with a homer, four RBI, four runs and four steals in four attempts. Chisholm is also showing a lot more patience, drawing nine walks already this year for a 13.6 percent walk rate -- double his 6.8 percent mark from 2023. If that improved plate discipline holds up, it could signal a breakout campaign is coming.

Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Nabs third steal
Rotowire
Chisholm went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.
The 26-year-old center fielder has stolen bags in back-to-back games, and all three of his steals on the season have come in his last five contests. While his legs are doing fine, Chisholm's bat has yet to really ramp up, and through 12 games he's slashing .195/.340/.390. Four of his eight hits (two doubles and two homers) have gone for extra bases though, and he's added seven runs and eight RBI, making a solid five-category contribution in OBP formats.

Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Cranks grand slam
Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's loss to the Pirates.
Chisholm's first home run of the season cleared the bases and staked the Marlins to an early 5-0 lead that they were ultimately unable to maintain. Chisholm struggled significantly last season against lefties, hitting just .172 with only two of his 19 homers off southpaws, making his homer Sunday a positive sign considering it came off left-handed Pirates starter Bailey Falter. Chisholm finished the series with the Pirates reaching base in six of his 18 plate appearances, walking four times with a double and a home run.

Batting fourth for the Marlins, Chisholm scored the game's first run in the second inning before crossing the plate again in the third to give his team a 4-2 lead that the bullpen couldn't protect. The 26-year-old's main goal in 2024 is just to stay healthy -- in 157 games over the last two seasons combined, Chisholm has slashed .251/.312/.487 with 33 homers, 34 steals, 89 runs and 96 RBI.

Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Power surge at end of camp
Rotowire
Chisholm went 2-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's split-squad game against the Cardinals.
Both blasts came off Kyle Gibson, and Chisholm actually homered in three straight at-bats when including Monday's long ball off Houston's Josh Hader. The 26-year-old center fielder is batting .364 (12-for-33) this spring with two doubles in addition to his three home runs over the last couple days, and he's also 2-for-2 on steal attempts. If Chisholm can avoid the injuries that have plagued his career to date, he has the talent to deliver a 30-30 campaign.
Chisholm went 2-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
The 26-year-old center fielder is batting .321 (9-for-28) this spring with a 2:9 BB:K, and while he is looking for his first homer, he does have two doubles and two steals in two attempts. The Marlins are still waiting to see what a healthy Chisholm might do over a full campaign -- he's played 157 games over the last two seasons combined, posting a .251/.312/.487 slash line with 33 homers and 34 stolen bases.
Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Swipes first bag of spring
Rotowire
Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
The 26-year-old's shift to center field last year didn't solve his injury woes, but Chisholm still has tantalizing fantasy upside should he ever stay in one piece. In 157 games over the last two seasons combined, he's slashed .251/.312/.487 with 33 homers and 34 steals. Thursday's pilfer was his first of the spring in three games, and it's a good sign that he's fully recovered from offseason surgery to correct a turf toe issue.
