Miami Marlins: Jazz Chisholm Jr. drops crown for MLB The Show move

Who says that Major League Baseball players aren’t impressed by what they see in video games? If you hear anyone pushing that narrative, just show them a tweet from Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Any time Jazz Chisholm Jr. hits a home run for the Miami Marlins, fans can expect to see a euro step move right before he crosses home plate. It’s become a signature part of Chisholm’s game, and some pitchers are even having some fun with it after getting Chisholm out.

So while the euro step has become a fun part of what Chisholm brings to the game, video game designers have realized that it is something that should be a part of his virtual play as well.

In MLB The Show 22, Chisholm’s euro step is a part of the game, and the 24-year-old couldn’t be more pleased, dropping a compliment and a crown on Twitter for the move being included in the game.

Chisholm Jr. took a big step forward for the Marlins last season, hitting 18 home runs and driving in 53 while also stealing 23 bases. According to Baseball Savant, his sprint speed is in the 94th percentile among all Major League players, making him a threat with power as well as his quickness when the ball is put in play.

However, it’s putting the ball in play that Chisholm Jr. will need to work on this season. He struck out in 28.6 percent of his plate appearances last season while his walk rate dipped to 6.7 percent.

Chisholm Jr. taking the next step (euro step or regular step) in his career is something that all Marlins fans are watching to see happen in 2022. That’s something he apparently understands as well, judging from one of his replies to the euro step video tweet.
