The Milwaukee Brewers just dropped a 10-1 hammer on the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of the 2026 MLB World Series, and now they’re sitting just one win away from their first championship ever. While everyone on that squad deserves major props, outfielder Jackson Chourio is out here doing something truly special. His performance this October, especially in the World Series, is legitimately all-time great. After a four-hit explosion in Game 3, Chourio has rewritten the record books, joining some seriously rare company with stats that scream “postseason legend.”
Chourio Is Chasing Down All-Time Records, Like, Right Now
This dude isn’t just good, he’s straight-up legendary at just 22 years old. Sarah Langs dropped a stat that shows Chourio’s already racked up eight hits in the first three World Series games. That’s only one shy of Billy Hatcher’s MLB record from way back in 1990. Think about that for a second. We’re talking about World Series history.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Chourio’s overall postseason resume before even hitting 23 years old is absolutely bonkers. Langs shared another gem: most postseason hits before turning 23. Andruw Jones had 30 hits in 45 games. Chourio? He’s got 29 hits in just 23 games. Are you kidding me? If this kid gets just two more hits in Game 4, he doesn’t just break Jones’ record, he could do it in potentially 20 fewer games. That’s not just breaking a record; that’s shattering it.
That Four-Hit, One-Stolen-Base Game 3? Pure Legend Status.
Game 3 wasn’t just another good day at the plate for Chourio. That four-hit, one-stolen-base performance was absolutely historic. Langs pointed out that Chourio, at 22 years and 229 days old, became the second-youngest player in World Series history to have four hits and a stolen base in a game. The only guy younger was Ty Cobb in Game 3 of the 1908 World Series. Yeah, *that* Ty Cobb. Plus, he’s the youngest player to have a four-hit World Series game since Joe Garagiola back in Game 4 of the 1946 Series. We’re talking about names that echo through baseball history right there.
But wait, there’s more. Chourio had a wild two-hit, one-stolen-base fifth inning where the Brewers just blew the game wide open to a 10-0 lead. Langs confirmed that there have been 47 instances in postseason history of a player getting two hits in a single inning. Chourio is the *only* player to do it twice. He first pulled this off in Game 1 of the 2025 NLDS, and now again in this World Series Game 3. And to top it all off, he’s the first player in World Series history to get two hits *and* a stolen base in an inning. Only two other players have ever done that in *any* postseason inning: Chuck Knoblauch in the 2000 ALDS and Rickey Henderson in the 1990 ALCS.
This is how Jackson Chourio is starting his MLB career, folks. He’s got a chance to seal the Brewers’ first World Series win in Game 4, add even more hits and steals to this insane resume, and carve his name deep into MLB legend. You don’t want to miss Game 4.
