Jeferson Quero
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Quero’s clearest path is as a defense-first major-league catcher who earns playing time through receiving, blocking, game management, and contact ability rather than middle-of-the-order offense. The 2023 Double-A season showed enough offensive impact to support a regular role, but the post-surgery return has produced only modest on-base and slugging results while his arm strength has not fully returned. If the throwing operation continues to improve and his chase rate comes down, he can settle into a second-division starting or strong backup role. The floor is a reserve catcher, with durability and offensive selectivity determining whether he reaches more than that.
