Talent has come in abundance for the Milwaukee Brewers.
A night has been removed from the historic night for the Milwaukee Brewers' newly turned superstar pitcher, Jacob Misiorowski.
The second-year standout put together an impressive outing, pitching a complete game in less than 100 pitches, striking out a career-high 15 batters, and recording the fastest pitch in MLB history at 104.5MPH.
Misiorowski has received most of the national attention for his dominating performances on the mound, and rightfully so, but throughout June, another Brewer is emerging on the scene toward potential superstardom.
Left fielder Jackson Chourio has made his presence felt at the plate with elite offensive production.
In June, Chourio has arguably had the most reliable bat in the lineup, batting a whooping .367 average, eight extra base hits with four homeruns, and 13 RBIs with a 1.112 OPS.
The Brewers have been the best team in the NL Central for most of the season and currently hold the third-best record in the league, thanks to a strong bullpen and hot bats from veterans such as William Contreras and Jake Bauers.
Another element that makes the left fielder's month special is that Chourio missed an early portion of the season with a fracture in his left hand, sustained while playing for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic in March.
There is no doubt now that Chourio is not only back healthy but is quickly hitting his stride.
With Chourio showing potential this early in the season, he complied with the consistent batting from his first two seasons, where he hit 21 home runs in both. It is what the Brewers need to get over the hump.
Over the last five seasons, Milwaukee has won the division four times and consistently been one of the league's best teams, but postseason success hasn't come for the organization, which still seeks its first World Series title.
In a year where the Brewers' toughest competition comes with familiar foes in the National League that have top-tier batting lineups, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.
The Brewers will need high-level batting production once the games begin to matter more, when the postseason approaches, not just from the veterans but also from the young guys.
To win in the Fall, your team must have many threats at the plate, and if Chourio can continue his batting success that has sparked in June, it may lead to more playoff success, not only this season but for many years to come.
