"Get her a stylist asap" - Fans slam Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s companion's outfit choice at MLB All-Star red carpet

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been in the news this week after his sluggish performance in the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday in Atlanta.

The All-Star second baseman continued to attract attention the following day at the All-Star Game red carpet. The Yankees star's companion's outfit choice for the red carpet was mocked by fans on social media.

"Dear Jazz, ger her a stylist asap.. this is not it."

"Yankees organization need to talk to Jazz about the Yankees culture. Dress and act appropriately."

"And then there's Jazz with a date who showed no class. How embarrassing! It's a family event with children."

While Chisholm was criticized for his companion's outfit, the Yankees slugger was named Best Dressed by MLB Network’s Lauren Shahadi. He walked out in a custom, embroidered “smoker” jacket, red-bottom Christian Louboutins, and pearls stitched into his slacks to complement his stylish attire.

“They gotta beat me in this,” Chisholm said on other players needing to step up the Red-carpet game. “I think I win every time I come.

The All-Star slugger said he added a personal touch to the outfit in collaboration with his designer.

"We put our own touch on it with the embroideries and pins," Chisholm said. "Me and my designer, we did it ourselves at the house.”

Jazz Chisholm Jr. unfazed by criticism over Home Run Derby failure

Monday night's Home Run Derby was disappointing for Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was the only player to not reach 15 home runs in the first round. He managed just three dingers, ensuring his early exit from the competition.

Despite his underwhelming performances, the Yankees second baseman "enjoyed every second of it" and vowed to return to the derby if he has more than 20 home runs by the All-Star break next season.

“Next year, if I have more than 20 homers by the half next year, I’ll do it again,” Chisholm said. “And actually try to hit homers every swing. It’s not that I wasn’t trying to hit homers, I was trying to keep my swing and hit homers instead of just hitting everything in the air. I was trying to keep my line drive swing and hit homers.”

The All-Star infielder has been red-hot at the plate since his return from injury in June and the Yankees fans will hope the Home Run Derby failure was just a minor blip.
