00:00Is it time the Yankees banned Jazz Chisholm Jr. from challenging?
00:03Jazz started the season with this win in Seattle and since then has gone 0 for 6.
00:08Out of the 296 batters, catchers, or pitchers, with at least one challenge won this season,
00:14Jazz Chisholm Jr. has the worst win percentage at 14%.
00:18It isn't just a small sample size for Jazz either.
00:21His 7 challenges are tied for 10th among all batters.
00:24The only Yankee with more is Jose Caballero with 10, who actually is tied for the most with Ronald Acuna
00:30Jr. and Gary Sanchez.
00:32Out of the 7 challenges Jazz has made this season, only one of them is deemed reasonable by MLB.
00:38Plus, he's only seen 2 pitches this season that have been deemed reasonable to challenge.
00:43To put a tangible number on it, according to StatCast, Jazz's challenges have cost the Yankees 1.3 runs this
00:50season.
00:51That's the worst among all batters.
00:52If you take away Jazz's 1 win and his 6 wrong challenges, that would put the Yankees at 16 right
00:59and 16 wrong on the season.
01:01So 50%.
01:01Only 8 teams have been better than that.
01:04So Jazz is literally the difference in making Yankees batters top 10 at challenging versus the bottom 10 team they
01:10are now.
01:11Is it time for Aaron Boone to ban Jazz from challenging?
