Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Edgar Quero, 23-year-old White Sox catcher, is struggling significantly in 2026 after showing promise in his 2025 debut. Currently benched and splitting time with Drew Romo, Quero is slashing .154/.253/.167 with a .420 OPS in 27 games (93 PA). He has just one extra-base hit in 78 at-bats with no home runs and ranks near the bottom in hard-hit percentage and bat speed with zero barrels. Defensively, he struggles with blocking and framing but has been solid throwing out base-stealers. Recent bright spot: hit a game-winning two-run homer in 10th inning against Cubs on May 17. However, his overall performance has prompted discussions about potential demotion as the White Sox compete for the AL Central.
