The struggling Chicago White Sox may have a glimmer of hope in the emergence of 25-year-old catcher Korey Lee, who is showing promise with improved offensive performance despite a history of strikeouts and tepid batting averages.

By the Numbers
  • Lee's current major league level slash line: .279/.326/.465.
  • Barrel rate increase from 3.3% to 9.7%.
  • Plate discipline improvement demonstrated by decreased chase rate and increased contact rate.
  • Edgar Quero's impressive stats at Double-A: 5 home runs, .294/.387/.627 slash line, 197 wRC+.
State of Play
  • Lee's recent call-up due to an injury to Max Stassi.
  • Potential competition between Lee, Stassi, and Martín Maldonado for playing time.
  • Prospect Edgar Quero's notable performance and the potential for a complementary role with Lee.
What's Next

The White Sox face decisions on managing their catching depth and juggling playing time between Lee, Stassi, and Quero, while keeping an eye on their ongoing performance and potential promotions.

Bottom Line

Amid the White Sox's struggles, Korey Lee's positive development at the plate and the emergence of prospect Edgar Quero offer a ray of hope for the team's catching depth and future prospects.
