As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare for the 2025 season, fans have plenty of reasons to be excited. Shortstop Willy Adames left for the San Francisco Giants in free agency. This departure leaves a hole in the lineup. However, a young, dynamic trio is emerging. Outfielders Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell, along with infielder Brice Turang, give the Crew a fresh spark of energy. They provide support to veterans in the lineup like William Contreras, Christian Yelich, and Rhy Hoskins. They also will provide plenty of production as well. These three rising stars proved in 2024 that they are ready. They are prepared to carry the torch. They will push the Brewers’ offense forward.
Jackson Chourio: A Star in the Making
Brewers fans got their first real taste of Jackson Chourio’s potential in 2024, and he did not disappoint. Playing in 148 games, the 20-year-old outfielder batted .275 with 21 home runs, 79 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases. He also posted a .327 on-base percentage (OBP) and a .464 slugging percentage (SLG), finishing with a strong .791 OPS. Even more impressive? He became the youngest player in MLB history to reach the 20/20 club, showcasing both his power and speed.
With a full season under his belt, Chourio is poised to take the next step toward superstardom in 2025. His ability to drive in runs and get on base will be crucial for the Brewers’ offensive success. His electrifying presence in the outfield will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Expect Chourio to continue turning heads as one of the most exciting young players in the game.
Brice Turang: Steady and Reliable
While Chourio provides the fireworks, Brice Turang brings consistency and versatility to the Brewers’ lineup. The infielder played in 155 games last season, batting .254 with 7 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 50 stolen bases. Though he may not be the flashiest player on the roster, his .316 OBP and reliable defense make him an invaluable piece of the puzzle.
Turang’s speed and ability to put the ball in play give the Brewers a dependable presence in the lineup. With Adames gone, his role becomes even more critical. If he can improve his power numbers, he will be a key contributor to Milwaukee’s success in 2025. He also needs to maintain his disciplined approach at the plate.
Garrett Mitchell: A Comeback Year Ahead
Garrett Mitchell was limited to just 69 games in 2024 due to injuries. Despite this, he made his presence known when he was on the field. The speedy outfielder hit .255 with 8 home runs, 21 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases, while posting an impressive .342 OBP and .469 SLG, giving him an OPS of .811. When healthy, Mitchell has the tools to be a game-changer with his combination of power, speed, and defensive prowess.
With a fresh start in 2025, Mitchell has the potential to be a key difference-maker for the Brewers. If he can stay on the field, he’ll add another dangerous bat to the lineup. He will also provide an additional boost on the basepaths. His energy and athleticism will be invaluable in an outfield that already features the explosive Chourio.
Why This Trio Can Help Carry the Brewers in 2025
Losing a player like Willy Adames is never easy. However, Chourio, Turang, and Mitchell give the Brewers a young core. They can help fill the offensive void. Their 2024 combined totals show versatility. They achieved 36 home runs, 157 RBIs, and 83 stolen bases. This demonstrates their ability to create runs in multiple ways.
Even more promising? They’re only scratching the surface of their potential. With another year of experience, they can continue developing. With the guidance of Milwaukee’s coaching staff, this trio has the chance to lead the Brewers back to the postseason.
The 2025 season is shaping up to be an exciting one, and Brewers fans should be thrilled about what’s ahead. Chourio’s electric bat, Turang’s steady presence, and Mitchell’s raw talent create a foundation for long-term success. Get ready, Milwaukee—these young stars are just getting started!
