We’re still waiting for the mega leap, but Jackson Chourio is getting better

Jackson Chourio is showing improvement in his third MLB season despite injuries limiting his games played. His wRC+ has reached a career-high 124, and he's on pace to set a new home run record while improving his plate discipline, with his walk rate climbing to 8.1% after dropping significantly last season. His defensive work in left field has also been solid, and when adjusted for games missed, his overall production suggests he's having his best season yet. However, Chourio continues to struggle with runners in scoring position, where his power and batting average both drop considerably, suggesting he may be pressing in high-leverage situations.
