For the past several weeks I have been highlighting the under-the-radar players who I believe are up-and-coming dynasty players. This week I am changing gears a bit since the player I want to highlight has been a top prospect for several years and is the farthest thing from being an under-the-radar player.

This week the spotlight falls on Jackson Chourio of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Chourio has been a hot commodity in baseball since signing with the Brewers for $1.8 million in January 2021. One year later, at the age of 18, he slashed .288/.342/.538 with 20 homers, 75 RBI and 16 steals across three levels in the minors. He continued that success last year.

Playing at Double-A for most of last season before ending the year with a six-game run at Triple-A, Chourio hit 22 homers, drove in 91 runs and stole 44 bases while slashing .283/.338/.467. The last teenage minor leaguer to post a 20-40 season was Ronald Acuna Jr. in 2017.

The Brewers knew they had a special player on their hands, so they made sure he would remain with the team for a while. This past December the club inked Chourio to an eight-year contract with two club options, potentially keeping him in Milwaukee through 2033.

If you are a seasoned dynasty player, then you know about Chourio and understand his value. But if you are new to dynasty baseball, then you are probably being approached by other players about trading for Chourio. Don’t do it.

I’ll explain why Chourio is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
