Jackson Chourio reached another milestone for the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, launching his 20th home run of the season and putting himself in some elite company in the process. The young outfielder wasted no time making an impact, going deep in the opening inning as Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead.
According to ESPN, Chourio’s latest homer placed him among a select group of players to accomplish the feat at his age.
Chourio has already etched his name into MLB history before even turning 23. The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder became just the 17th player ever to put together three seasons with at least 20 home runs before reaching that age, joining legendary names such as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson and Eddie Mathews. Chourio also matched Ryan Braun as the only two players in Brewers history to accomplish the feat.

He went deep 21 times in each of his first two full seasons and has already reached 20 this year despite missing time after suffering a broken bone during the World Baseball Classic.
The young Brewers star has also shown plenty of speed, swiping at least 20 bases in both of his first two seasons. With one month remaining, he needs just six more steals to reach the 20 steal mark again in 2026.

Their 85 wins also give them the strongest record in the National League, with the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers four games behind. Milwaukee will try to add to that impressive total Sunday when it closes out its series against the Texas Rangers.
