Jazz Chisholm Jr. is an international superstar playing in one of the world’s most diverse cities, yet he has been flattened while being commodified as one of the most visible Black players in MLB
This was a good article, and I'm a Jazz fan, but it's an uphill battle for him to be a Hall of Famer. Even among NYC 2b in this century, he's only had the 4th best start offensively to his career, trailing Cano, Alfonso and Gleyber Torres in OWar. A lot of that is durability, and maybe he can turn that around? He's a fine player, but he'd need his career from here out to be similar to Kent or Cano to even get close to the HOF.
Thank you for the feedback Mark, and I agree it is an uphill battle but he definitely has the talent to put up Jeff Kent-esque offensive production for the next five to seven years. He’s already eclipsed the 100 HR/100 SB mark and he’s only played more than 120 games twice so far in his career.
