The future is now for the Miami Marlins.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), highly touted prospect Jazz Chisholm won the starting second base job for the National League East team and will start in Thursday's Opening Day game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The AP noted Chisholm hit .268 with three home runs and four stolen bases during spring training and separated himself from Isan Diaz, who went just 2-for-34 and will look to work his way back in Triple-A.
"It feels great when everybody believes in you," Chisholm said after learning he made the team from manager Don Mattingly and general manager Kim Ng.
