As Jackson Chourio gears up for his age-22 season, the Milwaukee Brewers are buzzing with anticipation. This young phenom has already put together two consecutive 20-20 seasons, making him the youngest player in MLB history to achieve such a feat. It's no wonder the Brewers saw superstar potential in Chourio, signing him to a potential 10-year deal before he even stepped up for a Major League at-bat.
At just 21, Chourio is already considered one of baseball's premier outfielders. Among players under 25, he stands out as a top talent, ranking fourth on Joel Reuter's list of the best young players in the game, just ahead of the Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Joining the ranks of legends like Vada Pinson and Mike Trout, Chourio's back-to-back 20-20 seasons set him apart as a rising franchise face in Milwaukee. With an eight-year, $82 million extension, he is poised to become the Brewers' most impactful homegrown player since Ryan Braun.
In his first two Major League seasons, Chourio posted a solid .272/.317/.463 slash line. His rookie year in 2024 was impressive, with a .275/.327/.464 line, 21 homers, 79 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases over 148 games. Although his stats dipped slightly in 2025 to .270/.308/.463, with 21 home runs, 78 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases in 131 games, a hamstring strain sidelined him for a bit.
For Chourio, the path to superstardom lies in refining his plate discipline. By becoming more selective and drawing more walks, he could be on track for a Hall of Fame career. The Brewers and their fans are eager to see how much more this young star can achieve with his wealth of experience at such a tender age.
