May 21, 2023

ST. PETERSBURG -- Less than a week after Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer graduated from MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects list, catcher Jeferson Quero cracked the list.

MILWAUKEE -- In the six weeks since his earlier-than-expected callup to the Major Leagues, everything Brewers fans have seen from Joey Wiemer is the opposite of smooth and subtle.
