JACKSON CHOURIO GOES #1 TO THE CHICAGO MOBSTERS

2023draftWith the first pick in the 2023 Mid-West Baseball League Draft, the Chicago Mobsters select from the Milwaukee Brewers Organization – right-handed-hitting outfielder Jackson Chourio.

Chicago’s management feels there isn’t a prospect in the draft with more upside than Chourio.  “He has sky-high potential, a special, special talent, and the Mobsters knew we needed to move up in the draft to get him”, said Mobsters General Manager Stray Corrado.  “He’s not the biggest guy, but already has a sturdy frame and actualized some of the anticipated physical projections from last year. His plus game power is more real than a mirage, he has an explosive swing with plenty of torque, even as a teenager”.

Jackon_Chourio-Scouting-ReportJackson_Chourio-2023-Draft-Day-ImageJackson Chourio set the prospect world into a frenzy when he flashed exciting tools and feel to hit to begin the season.  He kept hitting, and despite only being 18 years old, he got a promotion to High-A in August, didn’t look lost, and even got a cup of coffee in Double-A in September.  He’s athletic with excellent bat speed and currently is a well-above-average runner.

He’s quickly becoming one of the best prospects in the game and is already a Top 15 prospect.

An athletic specimen and five-tool player, advanced beyond his years, with a ceiling so high it lets your imagination run wild!

Once again the Chicago Mobsters Select Jackson Chourio with the #1 Pick in the 2023 Mid-West Baseball League Draft.

2022 MWBL CHRISTMAS CLASSIC HOME RUN DERBY

Matanzas Cuba – 12/25/2022

Despite a very cold & windy day, the Mid-West Baseball League held its 19th Annual Christmas Classic again this year on a chilly afternoon in Matanzas Cuba today.   A 52-degree day with the winds blowing in at a crazy 27 MPH, was not the perfect setting for the Mid-West Baseball League annual event.  Street vendors were out in droves selling hats, T-Shirts, sunglasses, and anything they could make a buck on from Americans & other foreign tourists. Twelve MWBL players & families came together with masks on for a jolly old time of fun, very little sun, but yet some Home Runs.
