Jackson Chourio’s Young Phenom Surge | Amarillo News

Jackson Chourio just smashed his 20th home run of the season at just 22 years old, joining an elite club that includes Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle—making him one of the youngest ever to hit 20 homers in three seasons before turning 23. Even more impressive? He didn’t grow up glued to baseball TV. After breaking a bone playing for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, he played through it, helped his team win, then missed the start of the Brewers’ season—his first game wasn’t until May 4th. But he’s still crushing numbers: on track for career highs in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage, with a hot streak of .360+ over his last 11 games. Signed to an eight-year, $82 million deal at just 19, he’s become a fan favorite—and his manager calls him special for his lightning-fast hands. With the Brewers holding the best record in baseball, Chourio’s eyes are set on the ultimate goal: a World Series title.
