Another night, another jaw-dropping moment from Jackson Chourio. The Milwaukee Brewers’ rising star delivered yet another highlight-reel performance on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants at American Family Field. Chourio left fans in awe when he launched a colossal two-run home run off Giants starter Logan Webb in the third inning, sending the ball an astounding 449 feet.
The powerful blast not only thrilled the crowd but also made a literal impact by striking the giant scoreboard at American Family Field, knocking out one of its panels.
Chourio capitalized on being ahead in the count against Webb, who started the at-bat with two balls. On the third pitch, an 86 MPH changeup, Chourio unleashed his swing, sending the ball soaring deep into the stands and bringing home teammate Brice Turang.

What made this home run even more remarkable is that it came off Webb, one of the most home-run-averse pitchers in the league. Webb entered the game allowing just 0.36 home runs per nine innings, the best mark among all qualified starters in the majors, according to FanGraphs.
As soon as Chourio’s homer hit the scoreboard, social media lit up with reactions:
- “Knocking out a panel is totally something I’d tell my kids about one day. Video game moment!”
- “Impressive two-run home run Chourio. Hits it way outta here #MLB”
- “Chourio hit the scoreboard so hard it might actually start working correctly.”
- “GIVE THAT YOUNG KID ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!! THAT 449-FOOT 2-RUN HOMERUN WAS CRUSHED, AND IT EVEN TOOK A LIGHT OFF THE CENTER FIELD SCOREBOARD AND INTO THE BREWERS BULLPEN!!!”
- “Is that the ROY? It sure looks like it.”
Chourio’s electrifying performance continues to cement his status as one of baseball’s most exciting young talents, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what he’ll do next.
