Jackson Chourio continues to marvel in the postseason.
After Chourio saw a first-pitch 97.6 mph fastball come his way by Blake Snell to open Game 3 of the NLCS, he got all of it and hit a leadoff home run over the fence in right-center field to make it a 1-0 game.
By giving Milwaukee the early lead, Chourio made a record-setting moment by becoming the league’s leader in postseason home runs before turning 23.
Coming into Wednesday night, Chourio was tied with Juan Soto and Kyle Schwarber with five home runs, but with the solo shot, he now has six postseason homers, and that number still has time to increase.
Chourio, 22, is in the midst of his third postseason run and came into Wednesday night averaging .290 with 20 hits and 17 RBIs in the postseason.
Despite struggling in the NLDS against the Padres a week ago where he finished the series hitting .200, Chourio became the Brewers’ all-time postseason home run leader when he blasted one over the left field fence in the opening game of the series.
Since the Brewers wrapped the series up against San Diego, he’s found his stride again, as he came into Wednesday night batting .300 in the NLCS.
