Jazz Chisholm Jr. is never shy to be unabashedly himself, on and off the field. This is what's endeared him to fans of the New York Yankees , MLB's most successful franchise. Chisholm is not only one of their most productive players, he's also arguably their most exciting outside of Aaron Judge , as he plays the game with so much contagious joy and energy.

In 2026, however, Chisholm hasn't exactly been at his best. He's currently sporting an OPS of .699, which is a far cry from the kind of production he's capable of on the plate. Be that as it may, his confidence is never going to waver. In fact, he was brimming with confidence during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon — calling his shot that the Yankees are going to go far and win it all.
"I mean, to win the World Series. (We're gonna do it) for sure," Chisholm said with a smile on his face.
That, indeed, is the ultimate goal for the Yankees — to win the World Series for the first time since 2009. They have come close on multiple occasions, particularly in 2024. That was when they made it to the Fall Classic and engaged in a competitive series against the Los Angeles Dodgers .

But there is so much to go in the 2026 season; the Yankees aren't even leading the AL East as things stand. They are currently behind the Tampa Bay Rays by virtue of having two more losses (36-23 compared to the Rays' 36-21).
And then there's the matter of the MLB postseason being more of a crapshoot than any other in the major North American sports. Anything can happen in baseball come October, and it might not be the best idea to tempt fate by putting proclamations like that out there with 103 games remaining in the season.
Nonetheless, the confidence from Chisholm is admirable; the Yankees do need to walk the talk, however.
