2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Jackson Chourio made history in 2025 by becoming the youngest player in major league history to record consecutive 20-20 seasons. Despite missing 31 games due to a recurring right hamstring strain, Chourio matched his rookie output with 21 home runs and 21 stolen bases while slashing .270/.308/.463. His season was highlighted by a spectacular 20-game hitting streak in July where he batted .392, a stretch that vaulted the Brewers into first place in the NL Central. Although he struggled with a .200 average in September after returning from the injured list, he regained his form in the postseason. He batted .389 with a home run in the NLDS victory over the Cubs before Milwaukee was eventually eliminated by the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Heading into 2026, the 21-year-old outfielder is a consensus top-25 fantasy asset and the undisputed face of the Brewers franchise. Having proven that his elite power-speed combination is sustainable, Chourio spent the winter playing for Águilas del Zulia in Venezuela to refine his plate discipline and demonstrate that his hamstring issues are fully behind him. While his bottom-10th percentile chase rate remains a point of concern for his batting average ceiling, his elite 98th percentile sprint speed and improving 9.7% barrel rate provide a massive fantasy floor. Managers can comfortably draft him in the late second or early third round, as he remains one of the few players capable of a legitimate 30-30 campaign if he can stay on the field for 150 games.
