Pat Murphy Praises Chourio
It’s been a stellar third year for Chourio, who has been great ever since he entered the league in 2024.
Recently, Brewers manager Pat Murphy spoke about Chourio’s success in October and his performance this year for Milwaukee, which entered the postseason with the best record in baseball and has lived up to the hype.
“Jack Jack is special, and just hanging around him, you’ll see what we’re talking about,” Murphy said on Oct. 11. “There’s a smile on his face, he’s the same every single day. He’s a special talent, takes pride in his game, should win the Gold Glove this year. And he’s a tremendous hitter. All three games we won, he played a pivotal role offensively.”
Chourio’s 2026 Season With Brewers
Although he has yet to earn an All-Star selection. Chourio appeared in 127 games for the Brewers this year and logged 522 at-bats.
Across that span, he hit an impressive .291 with 96 runs, 152 hits, 25 home runs and 75 RBIs, while slugging .487 with an .837 OPS.
