Jackson Chourio did his best to give his team a chance to win on Sunday, going 3-for-6 with a homer, a triple, and five RBI in an 11-10 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Chourio homered with two runners on in the fifth inning to put the Brewers back in the game and then tripled in the tenth inning to give the Crew a two-run lead. The 20-year-old (!) rookie has been a dynamo in the second half, and is now up to 21 homers, 20 steals, and an .808 OPS in his first year. He's gonna be a good one, and will be drafted very highly heading into next season.

Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer on Tuesday to join the 20/20 club and lead his team to a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. His homer came in the eighth inning with the crew up 1-0, so the runs were key insurance markers. Chourio is just the third 20-year-old to reach the elusive club, with the other two being Vada Pinson and
Mike Trout. Good company to keep. The rookie phenom has been a solid five-category contributor in fantasy, and his stock should only continue to climb as he gets accustomed to the league.

Jackson Chourio continued his torrid offensive second half in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals. Chourio went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and three walks. The 20-year-old rookie clobbered a sixth-inning
Riley O'Brien slider deep into the left-center seats to clear the bases for his 18th long ball of the season. The top prospect has put together a solid rookie season, mostly fueled by his second-half performance. Chourio has compiled a .338/.387/.594 slash line with nine HR, 32 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 160 second-half at-bats. All-in-all, Chourio has lived up to the hype and has an opportunity to continue to make a good first impression down the stretch.

Jackson Chourio went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk, two runs scored, and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Reds. The home run came in the top of the ninth of a tie ballgame and would prove to be the eventual game-winner. After a sluggish start to his major league career, finishing May with a .210/.254/.327 slashline, the 20-year-old phenom has gone on to slash .318/.367/.536 since June 1. The young Venezuelan now owns a .277-17-66-63-20 line with a .336 wOBA and 115 wRC+ on the year and is looking every bit the superstar the Brewers expected him to be when they signed him to an 8-year $82 million contract before ever playing a single major league game. He will be very pricey in next year's fantasy drafts.
