TAMPA — Jazz Chisholm Jr. brings speed, power and more than a little life to the characteristically staid Yankees clubhouse. He fits with his extreme talent, but adds a needed element of fun. He wears a perpetual smile, and you suspect it’s because he’s imagining a future as sparkly as his diamond-dominated Audemars Piguet watch.
He’s been around long enough and is smart enough — he says he was a 4.0 student in high school — to understand the main goal in that Yankees room is always to win the World Series. And that’s his answer when asked what he’s looking to accomplish his first full season under the bright lights of New York.
But if pressed about personal expectations, the stated objectives are equally as lofty. He thinks big and talks bigger, which should work well in The Big Apple. There’s a touch of the great Rickey Henderson in him.
“I feel I can do everything. Gold Glove. Silver Slugger. We could have an MVP season on our hands,” Chisholm told The Post.
