Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s interests expand beyond the baseball diamond.

The New York Yankees super-utility man also dabbles in rap music, having rapped or produced on an estimated 200 songs.

"I go home and I forget about baseball," Chisholm said, per Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports. "I'm not a baseball player outside of baseball. Just rapping about my life outside of it."

He is not shy about playing the songs in the Yankees clubhouse, although he hadn't yet identified himself as the artist, per Thosar.

Chisholm was acquired by the Yankees in July after spending the first four-and-a-half seasons with the Miami Marlins. He was a known name before heading to the Bronx, with an All-Star appearance in 2022, but he has been producing at a new level since the trade.

Chisholm is hitting .296/.345/.704 with seven home runs and 11 RBIs in his first 12 games for the Yankees. He has played the majority of his time at third base but has also filtered into the outfield a few times as well.

While he may not be able to keep up with his current torrent pace, his versatility, speed and power could be huge assets down the line for the Yankees. New York is currently 70-49 and tied for the AL East lead with the Baltimore Orioles.

While he tries to stay hot in the lineup, it looks like he will try to work off the rest of his energy in the music studio.
