While Chisholm was finishing up his rehabbing from almost five weeks of missed games with a strained oblique, he was convinced to hit the breaks and slow his game down to 70-percent max effort. Has this EVER been done before?

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has The Seventy Percent Solution. While most athletes talk about the urge to give 100% or even 110%, the New York Yankees infielder thinks his success since returning from the injured list has been caused by limiting his intensity.

In his last two games, Chisholm has hit rockets, mostly up the middle, and his OPS is back up to .797, much more in line with what the Yankees expected when they acquired him from the Marlins at last year’s trade deadline.
