Jazz Chisholm Jr. (NYY): 3-5, HR, R, 4 RBI, 2 SB.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. served up a “Combo Meal” with an additional aspect of fries final evening. Chisholm blasted a 105.8 mph homer within the first inning for his ninth of the season earlier than firing off a laser 106.0 mph linedrive for a single later within the sixth. In 4 video games since coming back from the IL on June third, Chisholm has now put up 2 HRs, 3 R, 6 RBI, 3 SBs and a .500/.500/.875/.1.375 slashline.
Whereas the contact expertise received’t ever be elite, Chisholm greater than makes up for it together with his mixture of energy and pace:
Jazz (We’ve Acquired) has thrived in New York Metropolis since being traded to the Yankees final summer time, the place he’s put up 20 HRs, 27 SBs, and a 110 wRC+ in 332 PAs. He’s finished particularly properly in Yankee Stadium this season with eight house runs, 4 stolen bases, a .309 batting common(!), and 198 wRC+, making him a must-start in any house video games.
Let’s see how the opposite hitters did Friday:
Jackson Holliday (BAL): 3-5, 2B, HR, 2 R, RBI.
Jackson Holliday smoked a 103.7 mph, 430 ft house run that might’ve left all 30 ballparks for his eighth of the season.
The 2022 1st total choose had a tough begin to his main league profession final season, however he has turned it round properly in 2025 thus far. As you possibly can see beneath, his Course of+ has been climbing slowly because the finish of final season:
A expertise like this doesn’t keep down for lengthy, so it’s good to see Holliday on the rise once more.
Agustín Ramírez (MIA): 3-4, HR, R, RBI.
A part of the return within the Jazz Chisholm Jr. commerce, Ramírez hit his eighth house run of the season final evening. The facility right here is actual too, with a 114.7 mph most exit velocity and 74.5 mph bat pace, each good for Prime 5 on the catcher place. The 23-year-old catcher resides as much as the hype and is arguably the Marlins’ prime bat proper now. That could be a low bar to clear given the present state of that offense, however it’s going to assure common taking part in time within the coronary heart of the lineup transferring ahead.
Bryan Reynolds (PIT): 2-4, HR, R, 2 RBI.
Bryan Reynolds has been heating up of late:
The contact expertise which have lengthy been an indicator of Reynolds’ profession are nonetheless not again to their ordinary ranges, however the energy is there in an enormous method. Together with his Resolution Worth+ (110) trending up, I feel it’s protected to financial institution on the batting common rebounding remainder of season and within the meantime, you possibly can reap the rewards of a career-high 91.3 mph common exit velocity.
Addison Barger (TOR): 1-4, HR, R, 2 RBI.
Addison Barger has come out of nowhere together with his present scorching streak. All seven of Barger’s house runs this season have come within the final 30 days, and 5 of these have come within the final week. The 25-year-old third baseman hit a profession excessive 26 HRs again in 2022 between Excessive-A, Double-A, and Triple-A as he flew by way of the minors. During the last two years, nevertheless, Barger hit for a mixed 25 HRs between Triple-A and the majors.
So, which is the true Barger? There’s an opportunity the Jays have lastly helped him faucet into his energy as his 94.7 mph common exit velocity, 15.7% Barrel fee, 75.9 mph bat pace, and 117 Energy+ are all elite marks. The Blue Jays are going to let him play as they trip out this scorching streak, particularly as Barger’s proven himself to be a reliable defender at third base and is beginning to earn reps in proper area as properly.
Marcelo Mayer (BOS): 1-2, HR, R, RBI.
I get the distinct honour of being the primary Batter’s Field author to speak about Marcelo Mayer after he hit his first profession house run final evening.
Whereas the early outcomes are usually not as inspiring as you’d wish to see from a consensus Prime 10 prospect, Mayer has all the time been a glove-first prospect, and we’re solely speaking a few 10-game pattern right here. Taking this all with a grain of salt, his major drawback thus far has been hitting lefties (-21 wRC+), as Mayer has a 9.7% BB fee, 22.6% Okay fee, and 88 wRC+ in opposition to righties to begin his profession.
Give him time.
Jahmai Jones (DET): 1-1, HR, R, RBI.
Jahmai Jones made his 2025 debut in model with a pinch-hit house run within the eighth inning to place this one out of attain in opposition to the Cubs. Jones has struggled with strikeout points within the main leagues, which restricted his means to contribute as a fourth outfielder with the Yankees final season, however his new method within the minors this 12 months has seen him put up a 22.4% Okay fee, 11.7% BB fee, and a profession excessive 91.1 mph common exit velocity.
There’s loads of small-sample-size noise right here, however the Tigers have proven an actual means to develop bats lately, so Jones could also be value keeping track of this summer time.
Dane Myers (MIA): 2-4, 2B.
Dane Myers is a enjoyable title to keep watch over, in the event you aren’t already. Yesterday’s efficiency introduced his line as much as .310/.361/.450/.811 on the season with three homers and 7 steals. If he wasn’t already 29 years previous, a 92.9 mph common exit velocity, 9.2% Barrel fee, 28.2 ft/s dash pace, and 115 Energy+ would positively be turning extra heads. Myers isn’t a platoon bat both, as he hits properly in opposition to each lefties and righties.
As I discussed with Agustín Ramírez, this Marlins offense will give taking part in time to anybody who can hit proper now. Baseball is not any stranger to late bloomers.
