Jackson Chourio Did Something No Player Ever Had in October

In 2025, Jackson Chourio moved to center field for most of the season and had a 20-game hitting streak in July. He hit .367 that month.

Then on July 30, his right hamstring gave out and he missed a month. He came back and still got to 20 homers and 20 steals for the second straight year, which made him the youngest player in MLB history with two 20-20 seasons.

October is where it got wild. In Game 1 of the NLDS against the Cubs, he had three hits in the first two innings. Sarah Langs at MLB.com said no player had ever done that in a postseason game. Then the same hamstring tightened up and he came out of the game.

He didn’t miss another one. In Game 2 he hit a three-run homer off a 101.4 mph fastball. The Brewers beat the Cubs in five, and he hit .389 in the series.

In the NLCS, Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a complete game against Milwaukee and allowed one run. It was Chourio, on the first pitch of the game. The Dodgers swept, but the only fastball Yamamoto missed all night went to a 21-year-old.

One year later, to the day, he did it again off Blake Snell. Now he’s in the World Series.
