Jazz Chisholm Jr. accomplishes stolen base feat not done since 2011 for Yankees

Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a few widely debated stolen bases on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox for the New York Yankees. 

The two-time All-Star leads the American League with 40 stolen bases. Only Washington Nationals second baseman Nasim Nunez's has more with 43. 

With 25 games remaining on New York's schedule, Chisholm needs 10 more stolen bases to reach 50.

During the offseason, the second baseman predicted he would hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases. He won't reach 50 long balls, as he enters Monday night's game with just 18. 

With yesterday's stolen bases, Chisholm became the first Yankee to swipe 40 bags in a year since Brett Gardner in 2011, per Talkin' Yanks.

Gardner led the AL with a career-high 49 stolen bases in 2011. 

Chisholm's speed could help the Yankees manufacture runs during the postseason instead of relying on the home run. 

The 28-year-old is aggressive on the basepaths, as he often attempts to steal third.
