Jazz Chisholm is ready to rake to the short porch at Yankee Stadium.
Those four games have all been on the road, and thus before Chisholm has even gotten to play with the hack that is Yankee Stadium's dimensions for left-handed batters. Yankee Stadium has a short right field that, at its shortest, measures just 314 feet, a proverbial walk in the park for left-handed batters and right-handed pull hitters.
Clearly, the newest Yankee offensive weapon is excited about that, showing up to his first home presser with a shirt that has the outfield's iconic "314 FT" on it. For good measure, he made it clear his plan is to hit it over the wall:Calling a shot on the day of your first game with the team? Bold, but if he can pull it off, he'll be even more of an instant favorite for Yankees fans.
Safe to say, Yankee Stadium is a good spot for him, theoretically speaking. Now, fans will get to see how it plays out beyond just theory.Josh Wilson is the news director of the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
