Watch: Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. makes Aaron Judge-like impression with two HRs

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been with the New York Yankees for just two games so far since being acquired by the Miami Marlins, but he's already making a huge impact.

He notched a hit, a stolen base and a run in his first game as a Yankee. That's a great start, but Chisholm followed that up in game two with an absolutely beautiful day at the plate.

He went 2-for-4 in New York's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies, with both hits finding their way to the seats at Citizens Bank Park.

The first came off Phillies' All-Star starter Zack Wheeler:

The second was in the ninth inning, and yes it came against catcher Garrett Stubbs, but it was still a moon shot. 

Funny enough, Chisolm revealed after the second homer that he was using Aaron Judge's bat. Perhaps not coincidentally, Judge also hit two home runs in the contest.

“There's no question you get a glimpse of what we can be,” manager Aaron Boone said after the 14-4 win, per ESPN.
