Jackson Chourio’s explosive power and the 'Summer of Sal' ignited the Milwaukee Brewers offense this June as both outfielders surpassed expectations to deliver career-best performances during a scorching midseason surge.
A pair of Milwaukee Brewers stole the show in June, a month that didn't necessarily highlight this team's hitting abilities.
Recency bias is real, but both Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick had amazing months that each deserve a ton of praise.
Chourio may have driven in 12 more runs than Frelick, but Frelick still did his part and the Brewers are referring to his hot streak as Summer of Sal: The Remix.
With the summer of Sal 2.0 in full affect, it was great to see Chourio continue to heat up as well, someone who's gone on to have one of, if not the best, seasons of his young career.
Jackson Chourio's Incredible June
In 27 games, Chourio went 37-for-116 which comes out to a .319 batting average. It seems unlikely he'll be able to hit for .300-plus the rest of the season, but this kid continues to exceed all expectations, so truly anything is possible.
Chourio hit double-digit homers in the month, 10, and had 25 RBIs. In that 27 game sample size, he sported an OPS of 1.013, an incredible number that shows off his power and consistent ability to get on-base. Speaking of, Chourio had a .375 OBP and .638 SLG.
Currently in his third MLB season, Chourio has a .295/.349/.533 slash line with a .883 OPS. Should those numbers hold, they would all be career highs. Overall, Chourio has appeared in 49 games and has 210 at-bats this season.
Sal Frelick Joins the Party
Frelick is one of those guys this team always roots for, and time and time again he proves them right. Frelick isn't the most consistent hitter in the planet, but occasionally he'll have a month like this that justifies the team's decision to keep him in the big leagues.
Frelick had a .348 batting average in the month with a slash line of .348/.416/.464. He sported an OPS of .879 and had a tremendous two to one walk to strikeout ratio, 8:4.
If that's not enough, Frelick had 13 RBIs in the month which boosted his season total to 31. Remember, Frelick had 63 RBIs in 528 at-bats a season ago, so he's well on pace knowing he's only had 242 at-bats this season.
It's not like Chourio and Frelick are this amazing one-two combo at the top of the order, but both are contributing in their respective roles and should they continue, the Brewers will be in good shape.
