Chisholm has the skill set to make that happen, except he has not been able to put things together consistently all season, finishing Sunday batting .216 with a .691 OPS through 109 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think all year, just struggling to really get dialed in,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s never had that real hot streak, which he\u2019s certainly capable of. We\u2019ve seen over the last couple years, where it\u2019s two, three, four weeks of impactful damage, speed, getting on, things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a walk Sunday (while also committing a throwing error on a chopper-turned-infield-single that he could not cleanly grip out of his glove). <\/p>\n<p>Though he is certainly not alone in his offensive struggles, the pending free agent is as capable as anyone on the Yankees of single-handedly changing a game. <\/p>\n<p>He just has not been able to do it often enough.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
