Future

Jeferson Quero is currently ranked as the 37th-ranked prospect by ITD and the Brewers second-ranked prospect. Look for Quero to continue his progression at Triple AAA Nashville this coming season continuing to show off his defensive abilities while impressing the club with his plate skills. There may be a scenario where Quero takes over behind the plate as early as mid-season 2025 for the Brewers. Quero is one of if not the best defensive catchers in the minors right now, so be on the lookout for this kid.
