MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jackson Chourio, at just 20 years old, is making a significant impact in the MLB playoffs. Chourio, who recently celebrated the NL Central title with his team, has impressed with his performance this season, becoming the youngest player to achieve at least 20 home runs and 20 steals in a single season.
Chourio is not the only standout rookie in this postseason. San Diego Padres' Jackson Merrill has transitioned from shortstop to center field and excelled, batting .292 with 24 homers and 90 RBIs. Additionally, Baltimore Orioles' Colton Cowser, selected fifth overall in the 2021 draft, has shown improvement this season with a .242 batting average, 24 homers, and 69 RBIs.
