Jackson Chourio, who clubbed his 16th HR of the season this evening, has made an absolute mockery of AA pitching over the past month at age 19, 4 months. He's now striking out less than 10% of the time. It doesn't look like AA has any more challenges to offer him...
Could the time be drawing near where we get to see him in Milwaukee? Until recently, I was thinking the earliest we would see him up is June of 2024, with him starting the year in AAA. However, this last month has altered my thought process. I truly think he could skip AAA and come up to the big league club right now and be the 2nd/3rd most productive outfielder on the roster. I wouldn't call him up quite yet, but I would seriously consider it at the end of the month if he keeps this up a la Garrett Mitchell. That way, you allow him to impact the playoff race and get his feet wet for a run at the OD roster and ROY in 2024, which could net us a comp pick. Could also potentially work out a 10+ year extension a la Julio Rodriguez, Corbin Carroll, etc, too, thereby negating any service time concerns.
It's worth noting that Chourio now has 350 more at-bats at AA than Juan Soto...Juan Soto was called up to the majors from AA at age 19 and proceeded to OPS over .900 in 116 games...
