Brewers' Jackson Chourio rapidly becoming top postseason player in franchise history

From 1969-2017, the Milwaukee Brewers reached the Major League Baseball postseason just four times. Because of that, none of the franchise greats such as Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Ryan Braun had a chance to make a real impact in multiple postseason appearances.

Since 2018, though, Milwaukee has missed the postseason just once (2022), paving the way for the up-and-coming players to make a name for themselves.

That has certainly happened in the previous two postseasons, and 22-year-old outfielder Jackson Chourio is making quite the name for himself when postseason play begins.

Jackson Chourio is already a postseason icon in Milwaukee

Chourio played the 14th postseason game of his young career on Sunday and added another incredible moment to his resume. Chourio delivered a two-run, walk-off single to give the Brewers a 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres and, more importantly, a 2-0 series lead.

The walk-off came against Padres closer Mason Miller, one of the top closers in the entire league. For Chourio, the two-run single gave him 15 postseason RBI prior to turning 23, the second most in MLB history.

Additionally, Chourio delivered a game-tying home run in Game 1 of the series on Saturday, his fifth postseason homer. In just 14 games, the five postseason home runs are the most by any player in franchise history.
