22-Year-Old CatcherC
Chicago White Sox
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Quero likely would have made his big-league debut late last season had a mid-August back injury not cost him most of the final month-plus. He made a mechanical adjustment early in the season and slashed .333/.410/.527 with nine home runs, a 15.7 percent strikeout rate and a 9.6 percent walk rate in his final 56 games split between Double-A and Triple-A. That would be a major development for any prospect, but particularly for a 21-year-old switch-hitting catcher in the upper levels of the minors. He's the same age as the college catchers from last year's draft class, yet he'll likely be the Opening Day starter behind the dish, as he'll be eligible to net the White Sox a Prospect Promotion Incentive pick and he doesn't have anything left to prove at Triple-A. Quero's top competition for playing time, Korey Lee, has been worth negative fWAR in all three MLB seasons, but Kyle Teel, who was acquired this offseason from Boston in the Garrett Crochet deal, could join the big-league mix in the first half.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
We can appreciate how impressive Quero's 2022 season was while still acknowledging that the catcher market in dynasty leagues is so robust that even the best Single-A catchers aren't in high demand in many leagues. The switch-hitting backstop put up a .312/.435/.530 slash line with 17 home runs, 12 steals and a 17.7 K% in 111 games as a 19-year-old. Quero projects for plus power and he rarely chases pitches out of the zone, just don't expect the stolen bases to remain in double digits as he moves up the ladder. He is a good to very good catching prospect who is at least two years away from the majors. How you value such a player depends on your personal preferences and league settings. If we just compare Quero to other Single-A catchers, Harry Ford is a better fantasy prospect and Moises Ballesteros is comparable. Odds are most teams in your dynasty league are either set at the position or are already rostering a catching prospect or two that they like who is closer to the majors than Quero.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headliner of trade package
CChicago White Sox
July 28, 2023
Quero is the most significant prospect heading to the White Sox in the trade that sent Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Quero, a 20-year-old catcher, is currently slashing .246/.386/.332 in Double-A. He was a logical trade chip since he's blocked by fellow top prospect Logan O'Hoppe, who is currently on the injured list for the Angels after undergoing shoulder surgery in April. Keith Law of The Athletic notes that "Quero had an incredible season in 2022 as a 19-year-old in Low-A," so Los Angeles rushing him through the minors is a legitimate justification for his middling 2023 results.
