Looking back at our outfield preview from 2023, the makeup of the outfield hasn’t changed much, but top prospect Jackson Chourio has the chance to make an impact earlier than may have been expected after signing a massive eight-year, $82-million contract in the offseason.
While Chourio, who turns 20 today, is certainly the youngest of the outifelders, the rest of the outfield is also quite young. Garrett Mitchell (25), Joey Wiemer (25), Sal Frelick (23), and Blake Perkins (27) are all still in their mid-20s, while Christian Yelich (32) provides the veteran presence as the presumed everyday left fielder.
