Yep. At .391/.472/.565/1.037 after tonight. More walks than strikeouts.

Added a triple as well.

That’s what’s most impressive to me is the fact that he’s cut the strikeouts way down and is making remarkable contact. Something just clicked about halfway through his season in Biloxi.

More Chourio success and Jimenez struggles on Sunday:

• CF Jackson Chourio - 3-for-5, triple, double, 3 RBIs - in Zulia's 6-2 victory over Magallanes
• CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 1-for-4 - in Magallanes' defeat
• LF Hedbert Perez - 2-for-5, RBI, run - made the most of his first start, though La Guaira fell 7-6 to Lara in extra innings
• RHP Edwin Jimenez - 2 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks (ERA 10.38) - in La Guaira's loss

Is this good? Asking for a friend...

The only bad news is we only get Chourio for a few more games this year!

Not as much to smile at in Tuesday’s games:

- CF Jackson Chourio - 0-for-4 in Zulia’s 4-0 loss to Lara
- CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 0-for-4 in Magallanes’ 9-5 defeat to Margarita
- RHP Christian Mejias - 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks (ERA still 0.00) - in Aragua’s 4-2 loss to Caracas
- RHP JC Mejia - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K - in Licey’s 8-7 victory over Aguilas Cibaenas

[Joseph Zarr]

Mejias putting that highly erratic 2023 season in Biloxi on the backburner! You love to see it.

Wednesday activity:

- CF Jackson Chourio - 0-for-3, walk, run - in Zulia’s 5-1 victory over Lara
- CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 1-for-3, walk - in Magallanes’ 3-2 win over Caracas

[Jake McKibbin]

Chourio with his first stolen base too, nabbing third. It almost seemed as if he wasn't being allowed to run

[Fear The Chorizo]

At this point, just get Chourio through the rest of winter league healthy, then wrap him in bubble wrap until spring training.  If he's not on the Opening Day roster, I want him up in ~Juneish.

 

[Jake McKibbin]

Chourio went 3-5 in what could be his final game (original sources were 15 games, but some speculation it may be 20), including a stolen base and a double. If that is his final game, he's finished with a .362/.439/.517 line for a .956 OPS overall. with seven walks to seven strikeouts

 

Carlos D Rodriguez went 2-5 also in Navegantes 12-1 win, raising his average to .298 and included a run scored and an RBI

[Jake McKibbin]

Chourio is still there! Another 3-5 night with a double and a stolen base in Aguilas 5-1 win. His batting average is up to .381

 

Carlos D Rodriguez and the Navegantes weren't in action 

[Ro Mueller]

Solid Friday night for Brewers in Latin America. In addition to Chourio (see above):

- RHP Edwin Jimenez - 3.2 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 K - in Aguilas’ win
- DH Brian Navarreto returned after missing a few games - 2-for-3, double, walk, RBI - in Carolina’s 4-1 victory over Santurce

[Jim Goulart]

Confirmation that Chourio's winter ball stint ends Sunday 11/19.

 

[Ro Mueller]

More terrific performances on Saturday:

- CF Jackson Chourio - 1-for-3, walk, run in Zulia’s 3-1 win over Aragua
- CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-4, 2 doubles, walk, RBI, run - in Magallanes’ thrilling 11-10 victory over La Guaira
- C Brian Navaretto - 1-for-4, double, 2 RBIs - in Carolina’s 4-2 win over RA12

[Brewcrew82]

Chourio out of Zulia's lineup today. Looks like he'll finish his winter with a .379/.453/.530/.983 line 8 BBs, 8 Ks in 75 PAs. Next time he sees at-bats should be in big league camp. 

2021: .204/.250/.286/.536

2022: .256/.291/.354/.645

Over after 15 games, the numbers speak for themselves, even if you don't translate.

But if the translate is accurate: 

"In his words, last year he became a better hitter, this year he broke the league".

I'm guessing he was a bit more humble.

Cracking day for mejias! If I'm not mistaken, he's down to a 1.10 ERA
