It hasn't been a completely smooth transition for 20-year-old rookie Jackson Chourio to the big leagues, but the Milwaukee Brewers' franchise cornerstone is still out to a historic start to his career.
' rookie Jackson Chourio to the big leagues, but the 20-year-old franchise cornerstone is still putting up historic numbers in his inaugural campaign.Griffey is in the upper crust of all-time greats, and Correa and Tatis Jr. are established All-Stars, so any time you can join them in baseball history, you are doing something right.
Chourio, who entered the season as the No. 2 overall prospect in the sport , went 2-for-4 on Wednesday in a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He hit his fifth home run of the year, scored two runs and had two RBI. He's now hitting .219 with a .615 OPS, so it hasn't been perfect, but he's certainly flashed great moments in his first exposure to big league pitching.
Chourio signed an eight-year contract extension this past offseason so the Brewers are absolutely committed to his development, and for a smaller market team, the ability to have him grow with the organization is something that will be valued for years to come. After the win, the Brewers are a surprising 26-17 and in first place in the National League Central. They are off on Thursday before starting a new series with the Houston Astros on Friday.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
