Brewers' Chourio earns third straight 20-HR season

8 sourcesUpdated Aug 30, 2026

Jackson Chourio added another milestone, belting his 20th home run to reach three consecutive 20-homer seasons before turning 23, becoming the 17th player to accomplish the feat at age 22 or younger, a group that includes multiple Hall of Famers. The Brewers star is on a historic pace this season, posting career highs in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging despite missing time with a fractured left-hand finger suffered during World Baseball Classic preparations. He returned to the lineup on May 4 and has remained a central figure in Milwaukee’s lineup, with a .281/.342/.478 slash through 456 plate appearances and 20 homers, 56 RBIs, 69 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. Chourio entered the league as a highly touted prospect signed to an eight-year, $82 million deal at age 19, and his continued power production reinforces why Milwaukee invested so heavily in him. If he keeps up the pace, he could become the first player since at least 1900 to post three 20-20 seasons by age 23, underscoring his potential to join an elite legacy of hitters. The achievement also highlights the Brewers’ long-term bet on Chourio as a cornerstone of their dynasty-like plans.
