3 Reasons why the Jazz trade by the Marlins made sense

2. JAZZ'S BATTING PROFILE

As good as Jazz Chisholm Jr. is, he's also not a complete player. He has some pretty glaring issues. For one thing, he's not a good contact hitter. He never finished a season with a batting average higher than .254. He also regularly has more strikeouts than hits, and his Exit Velocity has never been higher than 89.6. That's another obvious issue with the slugger.

Mostly due to injuries, Jazz has never hit 20 or more home runs in a season, though he'll probably be able to do so this season if he stays healthy. The Exit Velocity however points out that he may not really be as much of a power hitter as we really thought. When completely healthy, he's probably a .250 25 home run bat. None of that points to a franchise player to build around of course.

Summing it all up, Jazz Chisholm Jr. isn't a good contact hitter, has questionable power and also traditionally had issues hitting same-handed batters. While he's certainly too good to be a platoon bat, there's definitely reason to question whether he's ideal as either a middle of the order bat or a lead-off hitter. He may simply not be that good at the end of the day.
