New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is starting to turn it around in the second half. The 28-year-old struggled before the All-Star break but looks rejuvenated over the past week.

Over his last six games, Chisholm has posted three home runs and six RBIs with a .261 batting average, .696 slugging percentage and .957 OPS. His performance is important for multiple reasons, both individually and collectively.

He is in the final season under team control before entering unrestricted free agency, meaning every game is an audition for his next contract.

The Yankees are also trying to catch the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the American League East, and if Chisholm keeps performing at this level, the path to winning the division gets considerably easier.

As Chisholm attempts to keep it going at the plate, he has also remained active off the field. Even though he has only been in the Bronx since the 2024 trade deadline, he has made his mark with his vibrant personality, and his latest collaboration with Corona is a perfect reflection of who he is.

The two sides teamed up to create an island-themed jersey as part of the Corona Beach Connect Series, something deeply personal to Chisholm given his roots in the Bahamas. His custom jersey is unique to him and his own journey.

When asked by Athlon Sports about the inspiration behind it, specifically why he chose a conch shell as a centerpiece, he opened up about his family.

"My grandma, my grandparents, like where they are originally from in the Bahamas is Crooked Island. So like that's really where it's really from. And Exuma a little bit where they have some pink sand beaches. So for me, that's where we really was trying to replicate was like something like where my family's from and what I can think of and some old, old memories of me as a kid, like going and visiting like my great grandparents back at the home islands, you know?" Chisholm said.

The jersey is not available for purchase. Fans can only get their hands on one by entering the giveaway, making it an even more exclusive piece for anyone lucky enough to win.
