Dbacks trade Jazz Chisholm

[82CardsGrad]

I just read today Chisholm was as considered our #1 prospect.

He is viewed as our #1 prospect by many... However, he was hitting a touch of the Mendoza line in AA this year.

Hitting .204 123 K's to 41 walks. 355 Plate appearances, so striking out once every three AB.

And yet despite all of that still considered our #1 prospect? And I thought our farm system was considered well relished after we wrecked it for years. So if we have a good farm system and he’s #1 I would suspect that it’s giving up a lot.

Which is why some don't consider him the top prospect anymore. This year he has been swinging for the fences, 18HR so far.

A lot of the depth in the system is young, still a couple years out.

Chisholm was rated the #59 prospect in all of baseball before the season began. He fell out of the top 100 mid-season Gallen is #72


he D-backs needed young pitchers to grow with moving forward. The Marlins needed young position players they could build with moving forward.

The two teams were able to satisfy the others' needs with a swap of top prospects Wednesday. The Marlins sent Zac Gallen, the No. 72 prospect on the BA Top 100, to the D-backs for Double-A shortstop Jazz Chisholm, who began the year ranked No. 59 on the BA Top 100 but fell off at midseason.

Chisholm has both electrified and frustrated since signing out of the Bahamas for $200,000 as a teenager in 2015. His quick hands, big swing and swagger on the field invite comparisons to Javier Baez, but Chisholm has yet to learn how to slow down and play under control. He hit .206 with 34 percent strikeout rate at Double-A Mobile this year, although he also provided impact on contact with 18 home runs in 89 games. The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Chisholm is a plus runner with impressive quickness on the basepaths and in the field. He has the tools to stay at shortstop and smooth, flashy actions, but lapses in concentration affect his consistency and reliability. At the plate Chisholm takes giant uppercut swings at that produce loud contact when he connects, but he too often falls into all-or-nothing swings and comes away with empty at bats. Evaluators see the potential to be an average or better hitter when he uses the whole field, but his approach precludes him from performing to that level. Chisholm has all the tools to be a power-hitting middle infielder who can steal bases, possibly becoming a 20-home run, 20-stolen base player. He also has significant adjustments to be made and is very much a boom-or-bust prospect. Chisholm entered the year as Arizona's top-rated prospect but dropped to No. 3 in our midseason update.

Our system was just ranked #7 overall.. which is miraculous given where it was just 3 years ago!

Right? I thought we’d never dig ourselves out.

Our system doesn’t have a consensus #1 prospect. We have excellent depth but no elite guys.

He was considered our #1 prospect at the beginning of the year, but with the way he has regressed I doubt he would be in the top five when they re-evaluate.
