Was discussing with a guy today if Chourio could be a Triple Crown candidate in about 4 years . We never did come to a consensus.
How old is Ohtani in 4 years? 34/35? Gonna need him to slow down before anyone can talk triple crown.

If Ohtani is healthy, he's probably going to hit 40+ home runs every year.
I think Chourio has that level of power, but if he continues to improve (and if he just plays like he has for the last three months he'd be a perennial all-star) my guess is that teams are going to pitch around him a lot.
Ohtani will be hitting ahead of guys like Mookie Betts and Freeman (and probably some other free agent additions like Adames).
Chourio will have one guy in the order to protect him next year and that is Contreras.
