Brewers' Jackson Chourio goes viral after crashing the scoreboard with a monster home run

Jackson Chourio has no regard for the valuable property of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball organization.

The 20-year-old rookie hit his 16th home run of the season on Tuesday night with a swing so destructive – yes, inhumane – that it shattered the scoreboard at American Family Field. Chourio's majestic act of vandalism traveled 449 foot and gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead against the San Francisco Giants in the third inning.

This one panel will never be the same again.

There are home runs that are never in doubt, and then there are home runs that are never in doubt and look like they're being hit into thin air. Chourio's hit against Giants pitcher Logan Webb was the latter. When you think about it, it's actually pretty rude of the scoreboard to get in the way of that baseball.

With this home run, Chourio joins Carlos Correa, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr. and Fernando Tatis Jr. as one of the players in the Statcast era to hit a home run of at least 449 feet in their age-20 or younger season, according to Sarah Langs of MLB.com.

This isn't the first time he's made history. On August 8, Chourio became the youngest player in Brewers history to hit multiple home runs in a game, surpassing Hank Aaron.

In his first major league season, Chourio has posted 3.0 bWAR (and counting) in 117 games. Not only is he a home run hitter, he also has a .273 batting average and 18 stolen bases.

With a 75-55 record entering Tuesday's game, the Brewers are on the fast track to the postseason. Their goal now is to catch the Phillies and Dodgers for National League record. From here on out, every game has extra meaning and every at-bat is given even more emphasis. Chourio has never been in a Major League championship race, but he's showing he's built for the moment.

Although the Brewers are almost certain to win the NL Central, Chourio has a tough road ahead if he wants to win the National League's Rookie of the Year award. That's the downside of debuting at the same time as Paul Skenes and Jackson Merrill. But a few more moonshots like this one and people will start to take notice.
