Brewers’ Jackson Chourio, Cooper Pratt make World Series history

Jackson Chourio and Cooper Pratt of the Milwaukee Brewers made history by making it to the World Series as the top hitters for their respective teams. Both players were only 22 years old during the series, an age where they are considered among the youngest players ever to perform so well in the World Series. Chourio had an impressive .458 average (11 for 24) with three stolen bases, while Pratt hit .421 (8 for 19) and contributed seven RBIs for the team.

It was noted that the two were among the only players to hit at least eight times in the World Series at 22 or younger, both achieving this feat in the same series. The Brewers had not made it to the World Series since 1982, but with Chourio and Pratt, the franchise is now set to enjoy its first championship in a 57-year span. Both players signed lucrative deals prior to the season, with Pratt committing to an eight-year, $51 million contract and Chourio signing an eight-year, $82 million deal, with team options extending their contracts through 2033.
