Another game, another Jackson Chourio highlight. The Milwaukee Brewers’ rising star put on a show anew on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants at home. Chourio had fans in attendance going bonkers when he hit a monstrous two-run home run off of Giants starter Logan Webb in the third inning that went 449 feet deep.
That blast also hit the giant scoreboard at American Family Field, taking one of its panels out.

Chourio took advantage of his being ahead in the count against Webb. After two balls to start his at-bat versus Webb, Chourio blasted an 86 MPH changeup for the powerful home run that also plated Brice Turang.
What makes that home run even more impressive is the fact that Webb is one of the stingiest pitchers in the league when it comes to giving up home runs. Webb entered the game with just 0.36 home runs given up per nine innings – the best among qualified starters in the big leagues overall, per FanGraphs.
