The one who perhaps would have been the catcher of the future in Cuba, rejected that option in mid-2019, and left for the Dominican Republic looking for a more than attractive dream: to one day reach the Major Leagues.
This is the Cuban receiver Edgar Yoel Quero, a native of Santa Isabel de las Lajas in Cienfuegos, but who participated in the Cuban National Championships with Villa Clara. At 16 years old, he boasts an incomparable talent for next July 2 or the international signing market. .
Many scouts believe that the switch-hitter is the best catcher in the world in his category. Although it may seem like a simple opinion, it seems like a proven fact. Quero confirmed it in the last U-15 World Cup in Chitré, Panama, when he was chosen as the catcher (the only Cuban player) within the All-Star team.
There he hit .400 (six hits in 15 at-bats), hit a double and drove in six runs. Five runners left the robbery and captured three.
"He's quite complete on offense and defense," a scout from the Dominican Republic told me recently about the Antillean.
He has acquired more power than he brought from Cuba, he has contact towards the opposite wing, a more than healthy arm and the sixth tool for many: (intelligence on the field or IQ of the player.
Quero is the maximum attraction for the next international signing market on July 2, several organizations have launched their candidacy and whoever takes the most complete catcher at 16 years old would be completing a large part of the path.
