Jazz Chisholm Jr. is doing something hardly ever seen before by the Marlins: he’s playing second base and also hitting for big power. On Tuesday, Chisholm ripped a game-tying home run for his 13th long ball of the season, leading the Fish in that department. Really, the only precedent for production like this is beloved former Marlins stud Dan Uggla.
Uggla was a star for the then-Florida Marlins, swatting 154 bombs—a franchise record before Giancarlo Stanton came along—while serving as the everyday second baseman from 2006 to 2010. He recorded four 30-homer and four 90-RBI campaigns.
