PROSPECT: Jackson Chourio, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
ANALYSIS: Jackson Chourio will take part in his second Futures Game after getting the nod last season during a monster breakout campaign that saw him accelerate through both A-ball levels and to Double-A by the end of the season. He finished the season with a .288/.342/.538 slash line across three levels with 20 home runs and 16 steals, all while being 18 the entire season.
Chourio is an elite raw athlete. He's continued to show that raw athleticism, even though he struggled to open the 2023 season returning as a 19-year-old at Double-A. He's improved his walk and strikeout rate from the first month of the season to June. His raw tools allowed him to swipe 10 bases in June while also hitting three home runs.
It's hard to watch Chourio and keep in mind that he's just 19. He's playing with guys who are, on average, nearly five full years older than him. His talent oozes off the field, a true five-tool gem when he's at his best.
VERDICT: Chourio is in consideration for the top prospect in the entire game. If he somehow isn't owned in every dynasty league and any redraft league with an NA slot, he should be immediately gobbled up.
