The Milwaukee Brewers are optimistic about the progression of Jackson Chourio as he approaches his age-22 season. Having already recorded back-to-back 20-20 campaigns, Chourio made history as the youngest player in Major League Baseball to achieve this feat. This early success highlights the Brewers Jackson Chourio’s status as a promising figure in baseball’s future.
Recognizing his potential, the Brewers secured Chourio with a significant long-term contract before he even appeared at the Major League level. Although only 21, he is widely regarded as one of the top outfielders currently playing, and among players under 25, he stands near the very top of that group.
Chourio Placed Fourth Among the Best MLB Players Under 25
Joel Reuter from Bleacher Report recently ranked the 25 best players under 25 years old, placing Jackson Chourio fourth overall, even ahead of Chicago Cubs’ prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong. This ranking underscores Chourio’s rising stature in baseball.
“Here is a full list of every player in MLB history with multiple 20/20 seasons prior to his age-22 campaign:
Jackson Chourio (2024-25)
Vada Pinson (1959-60)
Mike Trout (2012-13)“That’s exclusive company for a face of the franchise on the rise in Milwaukee, and with an eight-year, $82 million extension on the books that could keep him around through 2033, Chourio is on track to be the club’s most impactful homegrown player since Ryan Braun.
“The question now is how much better he can get with so much experience already under his belt at an age when most players are still rising through the ranks in the minors.”
Chourio’s achievement of multiple 20-20 seasons before turning 22 places him alongside legendary players like Vada Pinson and Mike Trout, signaling the Brewers’ faith in his potential to lead the franchise for years. His eight-year deal worth $82 million reflects Milwaukee’s commitment to him as a foundational player even beyond the current decade.
Performance Overview from Chourio’s First Two Major League Seasons
Over his initial two seasons in the majors, Chourio has posted a solid batting average line of .272/.317/.463. In his rookie year, he totaled 21 home runs, 79 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases across 148 games, hitting .275/.327/.464. He followed this with a comparable 2025 season, where despite a hamstring strain limiting his play to 131 games, he maintained strong production with 21 home runs, 78 RBIs, and 21 steals, finishing at .270/.308/.463.
While Chourio’s power and speed have been impressive, experts note that his plate discipline, particularly patience in taking walks, is an area that could elevate his game further. Improving in this aspect could pave the way for a Hall of Fame career.
Additional Brewers Developments and Prospects
Alongside Chourio’s ascent, the Brewers also have other players drawing interest. Rookie pitcher Quinn Priester reflected candidly on the team’s disappointing 2025 season, while prospect Tyler Black aims to return to the Major Leagues after recording six RBIs during Spring Training. Meanwhile, divisional rival Chicago Cubs recently made notable moves in free agency, signing a former All-Star who hit 33 home runs last season.
