Jackson Chourio Age 21 Thread

[wiguy94]

We had the Age 20 Chourio thread. Time for the Age 21 thread where we can share all the incredible things he’s doing.

Not just this season related but Chourio’s last 81 games playoffs included is just freaky.

I said to my family the last two days, "we are so lucky to be able to watch this kid play."  I also love his love for the game.  He seems to always be having fun out there!

Adamas was always the happy one in previous years, now its Jacksons turn.

Good thing he’s not in AAA like someone suggested in one of the Yankees IGTs 😂

Fun Fact? On account of having one sac fly but zero walks or HBP so far, Jackson currently has a batting average (.315) higher than his OBP (.309).

Early season statistical anomalies aside, here is a link to the best Age 21 seasons since 1970.

Will be fun to see where Jackson ends up in that list after his 3.9 WAR last year came in 9th among Age 20 seasons since 1970.

Interesting coincidence? 9th place on the Age 21 leaderboard is 2024 Jackson Merrill with 5.3 WAR.

Fireable offense?

Chourio is still younger than a good number of draft prospects who will be picked in this year's draft....and currently OPS-ing around 1.0000 despite an 0-5, 5K Opening Day that accounts for 10% of his at bats so far this year.

 

Truly a generational talent.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Hopefully he won’t get the Gomez or Adames treatment when he is in a slump and still smiling.  You know that is against the rules and you must show no smiling when that occurs.  This was seriously a thing for one or two people on this board.

I dread the two-week stretch in late July when Chourio and the team are slumping, and Chourio has to shoulder responsibility for the team's slide. He's too young to feel that kind of pressure.

Of course, if he never slumps...
