Player Outlook
Jaison Chourio's older brother Jackson ascended to superstar status in the second half of last season for the Brewers, and Jaison will look to ascend to top-25 prospect status in 2025. The younger Chourio can actually match his older brother pound for pound (they both measure roughly 6-foot, 195 pounds) and tool for tool until we get to the power department, as Jaison has seven home runs in 186 career games. His 49.3 percent groundball rate in 2024 marked the first time he'd hit fewer than 50 percent of balls on the dirt, although he can hit the ball hard (110.8 mph max EV). A broken left wrist ended Chourio's season in late August. Prior to that, he'd been an on-base machine, slashing .269/.414/.398 with a 19.9 percent walk rate, 16 percent strikeout rate, five home runs and 44 steals in 98 games. Chourio is an above-average defender in center field, which combined with his plate skills, should allow him to be an everyday player in a few years. There hasn't been any sign of the switch-hitting Chourio reaching a new level as a power hitter, but he doesn't turn 20 until May, and even a modest uptick in power would allow him to profile as a potential leadoff hitter rather than a No. 8 or No. 9 hitter.

  • Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Set to play in Spring Breakout game

    Chourio (wrist) is listed on the Cleveland roster for its March 14 Spring Breakout game versus Seattle prospects, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Chourio turned in an impressive 2024 campaign at Single-A Lynchburg, slashing .273/.416/.401 with five home runs and 43 stolen bases over 435 plate appearances before fracturing his left wrist in late August. He appears to be facing no restrictions with his wrist during spring training, as Stebbins notes that the 19-year-old outfield prospect has been part of the big club's depth roster during camp.

  • Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Out for season with fractured wrist

    Chourio will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a fractured left wrist, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. Single-A Lynchburg placed him on the 7-day injured list Monday. Chourio suffered the injury Saturday while diving for a ball during a game with Lynchburg. The 19-year-old slashed .270/.414/.398 with five home runs and 44 stolen bases across 98 games with Lynchburg this season. Chourio should have a relatively normal offseason after recovering from the fractured wrist.

  • Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Speed, patience at Single-A

    Chourio is hitting .271 with a .391 on-base percentage, three home runs and 19 steals in 53 games for Single-A Lynchburg. The speedy center fielder has more walks (39) than strikeouts (38), and while he won't be mistaken for a slugger, his .130 ISO and 39.6 percent pull rate are career highs. Chourio has never had a groundball rate below 50 percent, and that mark sits at 52.6 percent for the Hillcats, which is suppressing his power output.

  • Guardians' Jaison Chourio: Climbs to Single-A

    Chourio is hitting .200 with zero home runs, one steal and 13 strikeouts in seven games since getting promoted to Single-A Lynchburg on Aug. 24. The 18-year-old younger brother of Brewers phenom Jackson Chourio was an outstanding table setter in the Arizona Complex League before getting promoted, so his first season stateside will still be considered a big success. Chourio slashed .349/.476/.463 with one home run and 19 steals in 39 ACL games, thanks partially to an inflated .451 BABIP. Chourio's command of the strike zone and speed stand out as clear strengths, but his 54.1 percent groundball rate and 42.1 percent opposite-field rate against complex pitchers suggest he has a long way to go before notable game power is a reality.
