Along with being named the Southern League's Player of the Week, Edgar Quero also ranked No. 1 on Baseball America's Hot Sheet.
He earned it, posting a .619/.704/1.143 line by going 13-for-21 against the Tennessee Smokies, and here's what Josh Norris said to accompany the placement:
The Scoop: What a difference a month makes. In May, Quero—one of the prizes the White Sox netted from the Angels in last summer’s Lucas Giolito trade—had just 15 hits. With just 10 days gone in June, he already has 17 hits. Three of hits this past week were home runs, which put him in select company. He is one of just four catchers in the minor leagues who are 21 years old or younger and have 10 or more home runs. The total also pushes him farther past his total from 2023, when he hit six homers in 101 games at Double-A.
