Jackson Chourio’s 2025 season was not, exactly, a disappointment. Despite a slow start, he finished with a 112 OPS+ and between two and three WAR (2.2 via Baseball Reference and 2.9 via FanGraphs) while playing a whole bunch of center field, something he wasn’t exactly expecting to do at the beginning of the season. It […]
