We know Jazz Chisholm Jr. is an amazing baseball player and a standout third baseman, but what about a hidden talent, too? Well, Chisholm is great at making documentaries! The 26-year-old has just covered a day of Yankees at the Little League Classic on a handheld camera, much like the professionals, as the video became popular within a few hours of its upload by the official handle of the Players Tribune. And the best part? Jazz Chisholm Jr’s idol, Derek Jeter, also commented on it.

Watching the Yankees is always a blast, whether they’re on the field or off. In this clip, we can see New York Yankees acting like kids again as they mingled with Little Leaguers ahead of the Major League Baseball Little League Classic on Sunday night. The crowd was pumped, cheering for their favorite stars. And just a few days after his injury, the Yankees’ new trade Jazz Chisholm Jr. was seen all dolled up in his Yankees uniform, tossing gifts to excited kids while filming the whole scene with a handheld camera.

And guess what were the Bronx up to during their free time? They were in their element, playing video games. But instead of FIFA, they were getting into the MLB show this time. Seeing the team having so much fun, Derek Jeter couldn’t help but comment, “We’re all kids at heart.” Meanwhile, the Yankees’ official handle gave a shoutout to Jazz Chisholm Jr. for his fantastic documentary, “Cameraman Jazz”, just another compliment added to the book of the future shortstop.

Even though the Yankees didn’t win the Major League Baseball Little League Classic, losing 3-2 to the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. The team had a blast, and the video by Jazz of the BTS is living proof. The Yankees’ ‘new cameraman’, Jazz, was also seen reliving his childhood by sliding down the cardboard, with his little fans cheering. Seeing this, Derek Jeter commented how we are all kids at heart, a take that rings true now more than ever.

Chisholm Jr. shares father-son bond with Derek Jeter

Chisholm Jr. was a huge Kobe Bryant fan—honestly, who wasn’t? After Kobe’s tragic death, Chris was deeply shaken, just like the whole world. In this tough time, he found comfort in Derek. He always remembers calling him after hearing about the helicopter crash, and what Derek said to him struck a cord in him: “He told me I was supposed to be his shortstop of the future.”  Well, Jeter didn’t just offer words of encouragement—he truly stepped up. Since Kobe’s death, Derek has taken on a mentor role in Chisholm Jr.’s life. And their relationship has grown into a father-son bond, as Jazz puts it “From that day on, he literally treated me like his son.”

This bond was also the sole reason that Jazz got traded to the Marlins; when Jeter made the move to trade for Jazz from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 2019 season, he told Jazz, “I traded for you because you’re the only person I wanted.” He spent four seasons with the Marlins before getting traded to the Yankees. In one of the biggest trades of 2024, the Yankees picked up Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins. Miami got back not just one but three promising prospects. That is Triple-A catcher Agustin Ramírez and infielders Jared Serna and Abrahan Ramírez. The 26-year-old star quickly made a splash after the trade, becoming the first Yankee to hit seven home runs in his first 12 games.

Just as Jazz Chisholm Jr. was making waves with the Yankees and winning fans over, he got injured. Now, fans await to see how he continues his reign with the Yankees, once his 10-day recovery period is up.
