However, Torres wouldn\u2019t oblige, making Chisholm play out of position at third base last year.<\/p>\n<p>With Chisholm now back at his natural second base position, he is currently off to a terrific start to the 2025 season. He has hit four home runs in seven games and has been solid defensively as well, making the change from Torres to Chisholm look night and day.<\/p>\n<h2>Chisholm has been a huge factor in the Yankees\u2019 hot start<\/h2>\n<p>Since switching to the new torpedo bat, Chisholm has boasted a ton of power and much better quality of contact. He has provided great lineup protection for Aaron Judge, which has resulted in him having a historic start to the season and more winning for the Yankees.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145-539x359.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=539,height=359,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145.jpg 539w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=384,height=256,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145.jpg 384w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=184,height=123,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145.jpg 184w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=262,height=175,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145.jpg 262w, https:\/\/empiresportsmedia.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=600,height=400,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MLB-Milwaukee-Brewers-at-New-York-Yankees-jazz-chisholm-25808145.jpg 600w\" alt=\"Yankees made one stellar infield upgrade\" width=\"539\" height=\"359\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of course, there is still a ton of season left, but the Yankees have all the reason to be encouraged by Chisholm\u2019s hot start.
