The Cleveland Guardians have more than enough young talent to keep stacking bricks for years to come. And while they may not have enough spots on the team to give everybody a chance, it’s nice to watch some of those prospects dominate somewhere else.
That has certainly been the case with Jaison Chourio. The 20-year-old prospect has been on a roll in his native Venezuela this season.
As shown by Guardians Prospective on X, Chourio has been one of the hottest players in the Venezuelan LVBP this season. The switch-hitting center fielder reached base four times in his last game for his club, Aguilas del Zulia.

The Venezuelan had two doubles, drew two walks, drove in a couple of runs, and went 2-of-3 in the game. That included an opposite-field RBI base hit in the third inning.
In his last two games, the young star has gone 7-for-9 with four runs scored, a couple of doubles, one triple, and two walks. He has a .778 average and eight RBI during that span, and he’s up to a .327 batting average with a .838 OPS on the season.
Of course, Chourio still has some hurdles to clear to get the nod to play for Stephen Vogt’s team. There’s even a bit of a logjam in the outfield right now.
Then again, given his switch-hitting ability and his physical tools, he has to get a chance sooner rather than later. Who knows? It might even happen at the very beginning of the regular season.
