NY Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. praises Cam Schlittler’s mindset after dominant start

The New York Yankees continued their strong start to the season behind another impressive outing from Cam Schlittler, who delivered eight innings of one-run baseball in a win over the Boston Red Sox. Following the performance, Jazz Chisholm Jr. highlighted the young pitcher’s mentality as a key factor behind his success.

Chisholm Jr. spoke about Schlittler’s ability to elevate his focus on the mound. “He’s dynamite out there… it’s two different people, but that’s what you want,” he said, according to the New York Daily News. “You want someone that can flip the switch and go out there and just be a dog.”

The outing added to an already strong season for Schlittler, who has quickly become a reliable arm in the Yankees’ rotation. His consistency and command have stood out early, helping New York maintain its position atop the AL East standings, especially as internal competition grows, with Will Warren making strong case to stay in Yankees rotation also drawing attention.
