Brewers: 3 Juicy storylines to watch in this weekend's matchup against Orioles

Juicy storyline #2: Jackson vs Jackson, the top two prospects in baseball

There's a consensus top two prospects in all of baseball right now, the top tier. It consists of Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio and Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday. Chourio signed an 8 year contract extension this offseason and made the Opening Day roster while Holliday was just recently promoted to the big leagues this week.

Holliday's promotion sets up a showdown between the top two prospects in all of baseball and will share the same field for the first time in their careers. By the time Holliday got to the Carolina League after being drafted first overall in 2022, Chourio was already up to High-A. They weren't in the same leagues again until Triple-A where Chourio only played six games and they weren't against Holliday's Norfolk Tides.

Chourio has had a great start to his big league career, hitting .282 with a pair of home runs, nine RBIs, two stolen bases, and a .788 OPS in his first 10 games. The Brewers could not ask for much more out of their 20 year old outfielder.

The 20 year old Holliday has only played in two games and is still seeking his first MLB hit. He'll get plenty of opportunities for it in these three games against the Crew and it'll be on his home field in front of his home fans.

Chourio and Holliday are the two youngest players in the major leagues and they're the two most talented youngsters, both with superstar potential. While they won't "face" each other, how both young players perform in this series will be compared against each other.
