Jan 2021 Report
Evaluator: Ian Smith
Age: 18 yr
Height: 5-10
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 IFA
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Compact, athletic frame with some projection remaining. Wide shoulders and wide lower half stand out. Has added significant muscle since signing in 2019.
Hit: Right handed hitter works out of an open stance with wide base. Stance is slightly crouched with his hands coming in right above the shoulder. Gets a quick leg kick while the hands drift back. Gets good bat wrap and barrel lags through the zone. Hands are active to start but quiet before contact. Will take a swing happy approach at times. Shows plus bat speed with a linear bat path that works a line drive approach. Will keep GB% minimal. Zone contact ability stood out in instructs among the recent J2 signings Grade: 50
Power: Makes loud contact consistently. Puts himself into quality attack angles and has an optimized bat path for future power potential as his frame develops. EVs currently averaging 89 with a max 100 Grade: 55
Field: 1.91-1.95 Pop times. Operates with one knee down at all times behind the plate, but flexibility still shows through. Shows plus blocking abilities and soft hands to keep balls out front. Makes a clean and quick transfer on throws. Shows good range in both directions, and earned impressive reviews on his framing and leadership during instructs Grade: 55
Arm: Gets good carry and will get his weight behind throws in the limited looks available. Good transfers and quick hands allow the ball to get out on time consistently. Likely to add strength as he matures Grade: 55
Run: Limited information on the run tool, but Quero shows the athleticism to be a capable runner. Longer legs for his frame will help the overall grade if his body stays right Grade: 40
Overall: Bat has taken a big jump since signing in 2019. Now offers a higher ceiling as an all around backstop, rather than just glove first. Profiles to be an everyday player with a very solid floor given the ability in the glove and potential to stick behind the plate. Had one of the loudest overall performances at Brewers instructs against competition much older, and will look to parlay that into a full season of success in 2021. We're hedging some due to a lack of game looks, but there's a real chance he plays himself into a 50 OFP come 2022.
