Brewers rookie Jackson Chourio cemented his status as a rising star by calling his own shot and hitting a grand slam during a game against the Cardinals, despite the bases being empty for his turn at bat. Chourio approached teammates in the dugout and confidently proclaimed that he would hit a grand slam if given the chance. After successfully hitting his second career grand slam, he joined an elite group of players who have hit multiple grand slams before their 21st birthday, further cementing his reputation as a potential superstar in the league.

In figures

• Chourio hit his 18th home run of the season, including two grand slams.
• Since June 2, he has a .320 batting average with 13 home runs and 13 stolen bases.

State of affairs

• Chourio is having a great season, showing power and speed with 20/20 potential (20 home runs, 20 steals).
