On Saturday, Jackson Chourio continued to make history for the Milwaukee Brewers with his 20th home run of the season. The 22-year-old outfielder showcased his power in the opening inning, propelling Milwaukee to an early lead. According to ESPN, Chourio has become just the 17th player in MLB history to achieve this feat before turning 23, joining the likes of Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson, and Eddie Mathews.
Chourio also matched Ryan Braun as the only two Brewers players ever to accomplish this milestone. Despite missing time due to a broken bone during the World Baseball Classic, Chourio has already put together a remarkable start to his career, hitting 20 homers in each of his first two full seasons and reaching 20 this year despite his latest setback.
With only one month left, he needs just six more steals to tie his personal record of 20 steals in a season for the 2026 campaign. The Brewers currently lead the NL Central with an 85-51 record, holding an eight-game advantage over the rest of the division and the strongest record in the National League. As they wrap up their series against the Texas Rangers on Sunday, Chourio's performance and potential continue to shape the team's promising trajectory.
