Jackson Chourio is off to a good start. He’s cooled over the past few days, but after his ugly 0-fer on Opening Day, he got hits in each of his next 14 games. He leads the Brewers with five home runs, and going into play on Wednesday, he was sixth in the majors with 45 total bases, one behind Aaron Judge.
But there’s one thing that Chourio has not been doing, and that’s taking walks. And when I say he hasn’t been doing it, he really has not been doing it: when he walked to lead off the bottom of the first on Tuesday night versus Detroit, it was his first walk of the season.
