Was just coming to share the same info.  What’s crazy is the hype he was getting for his May numbers and his June numbers are absolutely blowing them out of the water.  He’s got damn near a 1.500 OPS in June.  We may see him in Appleton before long at this rate.  this is some serious Soto level stuff.

Soto, Vlad Jr., Harper, Trout, etc. Tremendous company to keep. 

[Noche]

Extend him ?

[wallus]

Might have to see this dude when he hits Appleton for a few months.

Oh, he'll be a fan favorite in MKE, all right.....

[PlayerHader]

Just 1-4 tonight…but hit HR #6.

His 1.053 OPS is the only one over .700 in Carolina’s lineup tonight.

[Outlander]

Looking forward to hopefully watching him play in Appleton the second half of the season.

That's what always catches my eye when I look at the box scores; he's sooo much better than everyone on his team. Granted, CAR probably is below average offensively as a whole but still the difference between him and the others is astounding.

Just FYI but Jackson has a younger brother playing in the CLE system this year...

Here are some early result on the season for him (Jaison)..

Cleveland #Guardians 17-year-old OF prospect Jaison Chourio younger brother of the Brewers Jackson Chourio is off to hot start to his career through first 13 games in the DSL! 

14-47 16R 1(3B) 1HR 11RBI 20BB 9SO 3SB .298 AVG .507 OBP

Don’t have a subscription to The Athletic but Keith Law has Chourio ranked as the 3rd best prospect in all of baseball in his mid-season rankings.

I think posting this is ok:

3. Jackson Chourio, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

Previous ranking: Unranked

My No. 8 Brewers prospect coming into the season is now their No. 1, as he skipped over the Arizona Complex League and went right to A-ball as an 18-year-old and started to hit for a lot of power, slugging .600 in Low A before a promotion in late July to High A. He’s added a little bit of a stride before he swings, getting his legs more involved, but it looks like a lot of the power just comes from his wrists. He’s at least a 70 runner and a no-doubt centerfielder who gets raves from scouts for his overall feel for the game and on-field demeanor.

[PlayerHader]

Law clarifies that he prioritizes ceiling over floor, but likelihood of reaching that ceiling is a factor. Pretty high confidence in an 18 year old reaching that ceiling OR the ceiling is truly Soto-esque 
 

anyway…wow

Beat me to the update!  This is frickin awesome! 

Also liked Frelick getting back in the top 100 even though Baseball America added all the recent draft picks to this update. 

[PlayerHader]

Unbelievable helium for a guy who has barely wet his feet in high A ball. Hopefully he continues to focus on himself and not expectations!!!

[jw5511986]

Is #2 good? Just the first loser.

[HarveysWBs]

Got to see him play Saturday in person.  K’d four times and didn’t have too much to do in the outfield, so obviously my impressions aren’t worth much.  But he did not strike me as overwhelmed by the experience.

His numbers are down a bit since he joined the T-Rats, it seems, and I’m kind of excited about this.  If he’s going to be the guy everybody hopes he can be, he will have to show how he responds to the inevitable slumps and struggles of professional ball.  He has his first real opportunity now, and how he finishes the year should be revealing.  Have to remind myself he’s just 18—incredible.

[StearnsFTW]

Chourio up to #11 on MLB pipeline's top 100.  Frelick up to 49.  Weimer down to 89.

Ahead of Druw Jones and Jackson Holliday. That makes sense. We saw reports from multiple scouting insiders saying he would have been the first pick. In addition, he's already playing well in A+. Those two 18 year olds are in Rookie ball.

[sveumrules]

Only 93 PAs at Wisco to this point, but the K% (21.5) and BB% (8.6) are both trending in the right direction compared to 28.0 K% | 7.0 BB% in 297 PAs at Carolina.
