Chisholm took center stage at the 2025 MLB All-Star Home Run Derby, becoming the first Bahamian to ever compete in the event.
The moment was a milestone not just for the two time all-star, but the rise of Bahamian talent on baseball’s biggest stage.
Although he was eliminated in the first round with just three homers in the opening round, the homerun total didn’t tell the full story.
Chisholm entered the competition with a relaxed mindset, focused on staying healthy and maintaining his natural swing after dealing with an oblique injury earlier in the season.
One of the most meaningful parts of the night was his choice of pitcher: Geron Sands, longtime coach, and mentor who Chisholm credits as a central figure in his development since childhood.
Attention now shifts to the All-Star Game tonight where Chisholm and the American League take on the National League at 8pm.
