Jaison Chourio is our No. 10 Guardians prospect. Who should be No. 11?

Electric outfielder Jaison Chourio is our No. 10 prospect, earning 20% of the vote on Monday in our closest race yet, beating out some tough competition by just eight votes.

Chourio was an international prospect signed in the 2022 international class out of Venezuela for $1.2 million. He was ranked as a top-50 prospect in the class at the time and has lived up to the hype thus far.

Chourio debuted in the Dominican Summer League in 2022, putting up impressive numbers, slashing .280/.446/.402 with nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts.

In 2023, the switch hitter debuted stateside in the Arizona Complex League and he put up even better numbers, slashing .349/.476/.463 while stealing 19 bases in 39 games, good for an elite 147 wRC+. His performance earned him a late-season promotion to full-season ball, where he played nine games with the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Chourio might be known best because his older brother Jackson is currently the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system. Jackson is three inches shorter, but has already begun hitting with power, blasting 20 home runs in 2022 and another 22 last season. Jaison is still filling out his frame and has the potential for power, but has hit a grand total of one each season he’s played thus far.

On the bright side, if you want to compare numbers, Jaison has shown more patience at the plate, walking more than he’s struck out at both major stops he’s made. Fangraphs also believes he has a higher overall hit tool than his older brother.

2024 will mark Jaison’s first season in full-season ball, so we’ll learn a lot about him as long as he can continue to stay healthy.
