Jaison Chourio doubled twice Wednesday for Zulia of the Venezuelan Winter League.
The 20-year-old Chourio is more than holding his own in a league filled with far more experienced players, having hit .299/.386/.402 in 114 plate appearances. He was a little disappointing in the minors last season, missing time with a shoulder strain and hitting .237/.379/.286 in 87 games while mostly playing in High-A. Still, while he’s not the phenom his older brother Jackson is, he has a chance to become a capable major league leadoff man down the line.
