The 22-year-old Milwaukee Brewers phenom surpassed Prince Fielder and Orlando Arcia's franchise mark in Game 1 of the NLDS.
With the Milwaukee Brewers trailing 2-0 to the San Diego Padres, who else did you expect to hit the game tying home run?
This one is far from over, but Jackson Chourio crushed a 420-foot shot off Robbie Ray in the bottom of the third inning to tie this game up.
Expected Cy Young winner Jacob Misiorowski struggled big-time in the second inning, but moments like this prove why so many believe this could be the year the Brewers win it all.
In Game 1 of the National League Division Series, Chourio's bomb officially marked his fifth postseason home run with the Brewers which set a new franchise record.
Chourio, 22, broke a three-way tie that he was stuck in alongside Orlando Arcia and the legendary Prince Fielder.
Chourio stands alone at the top
It's criminal to think Fielder only had four postseason home runs with the Brewers, but they were nowhere near this level when he was at his prime.
Chourio is just 22-years-old, and it's crazy to think of where he'll be in his prime. The Venezuelan native is under contract through 2031, but has a pair of club options in 2032-33 so he's not officially a free agent until the 2034 season.
Milwaukee is hungry for a World Series, and it's going to take young players like Chourio, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara to get them there.
Of course, a veteran like Christian Yelich already did his part by getting the first base hit of the game off Ray, but all focus soon shifted to Chourio who started a third-inning rally.
Historic power for Chourio
During his first year with the Brewers in 2024, Chourio hit a pair of homers in the playoffs. Keep in mind, he only had 11 at-bats.
Fast forward to 2025 where Chourio hit two more home runs in his nine games played and 33 at-bats. Obviously, there was a much larger sample size that time around, but it only took him two at-bats in the 2026 playoffs to hit his first long ball.
Coming into the playoffs, Chourio had a career .682 slugging and 1.044 OPS throughout his 44 postseason at-bats. When the lights shine the brightest, Chourio has proven time and time again he's up for the challenge.
Chourio is coming off a year where he missed the entire first month of the regular season, but still set a new career high with 25 home runs.
