Chourio entered the season as the No. 2 prospect in the sport and though he struggled early, he's made an incredible impact. At just the age of 20, Chourio is hitting .272 with 16 homers, 59 RBI and 19 stolen bases. He has a .762 OPS.

He figures to be in contention for the National League Rookie of the Year, though he also figures to finish behind both Paul Skenes (Pittsburgh Pirates) and Jackson Merrill (San Diego Padres).

The Brewers will play the Giants again on Wednesday night with first pitch coming at 8:10 p.m. ET. Rookie Kyle Harrison will pitch for the Giants while veteran Freddy Peralta goes for Milwaukee.
