Quero was promoted for his big-league debut in late April of 2025 and spent the rest of the season in Chicago. He carried over the solid contact rate he displayed throughout his time in the minors, as he limited his strikeout rate to only 17.6 percent while getting on base at a solid .333 clip. The discouraging part of his profile was a lack of quality contact. After tweaking his swing in 2024 to access more power, Quero posted a barrel rate of only 3.7 percent paired with a 50 percent groundball rate in his first taste of the majors. The end result was only five home runs and a .088 ISO, reminiscent of past seasons from Keibert Ruiz and Gabriel Moreno. Team context cuts both ways for Quero. Kyle Teel joins him as one of the best young hitters on the team, potentially causing a timeshare at catcher, but the poor lineup around them allowed Quero to pick up plenty of plate appearances at DH even when he wasn't behind the dish. Quero also spent most of the season hitting in the middle of the lineup, which could help him rack up counting stats despite the poor supporting cast. Overall, it's reasonable to project a step forward for Quero in 2026, but a .260 batting average with low double-digit homers is a realistic expectation. Read Past Outlooks
