⚾ Graded 2022 Topps Bowman Jackson Chourio #BP79 Paper Prospects Rookie RC Baseball Card PSA 10 Gem Mint – A PSA 10 Gem Mint Certified 2022 Topps Bowman Paper Prospects Rookie Card of the Milwaukee Brewers Outfielder Who Signed the Largest Pre-Debut Contract in MLB History Before Playing a Single Major League Game – Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint

⚾ The practice of extending a player before his major league debut had been done before in professional baseball – teams occasionally lock up prospects when the upside is clear and the leverage is still in the organization's favor – but the deal the Milwaukee Brewers signed with Jackson Chourio in March 2024 before his first MLB game set a record for the largest pre-debut contract in the sport's history. Eight years, $82 million guaranteed, with the opportunity for additional performance escalators that could increase the total value beyond the guaranteed figure. The Brewers, a small-market organization that has consistently identified and developed talent at a rate that outpaces its payroll size, made that commitment to a Venezuelan outfielder from Maracaibo who had been ranked among the top five prospects in all of professional baseball by the major scouting publications and who had spent the previous two years producing in the minor leagues in ways that validated every dollar of that guarantee. This 2022 Topps Bowman Paper Prospects card at #BP79, graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, is the hobby document from two years before that historic contract, capturing Chourio at the moment when the organization's internal evaluation had already reached its conclusion. Condition: NOS.

⚾ Jackson Chourio made his MLB debut as a teenager and brought to Milwaukee a combination of raw power and baserunning speed that the Brewers organization had been preparing its fanbase to see since the moment he entered their system. His ability to drive the ball to all fields from the outfield, combined with above-average arm strength and the kind of athleticism that makes evaluators reach for the highest-ceiling projections available, gave the 2022 Bowman Paper Prospects card at #BP79 its significance before he ever put on a big league uniform.
