Edgar Quero, the #TapToChallenge GOAT

Quero has challenged a ton of pitches this year and lost (close just borderline, and clear whiffs)

But Tap To Challenge has a ranking system that evaluates each player in the league and calculates their effect on the game based on which pitches they do and don't challenge and when in the game they happen

And would you believe it, Edgar Quero is the GOAT so far in 2026 in:

WPA (Win Probability Added): The change in the challenging team's win probability due to the challenge.

Net RE (Run Expectancy): The change in expected runs for the challenging team due to the result of the challenge.

This website is fascinating and might open your eyes into how a challenged pitch hurts or helps the team, and volume of challenges looks like it might be beneficial overall rather than just holding onto your challenges/never using them like some teams are doing.

Edgar Quero

In my opinion the most interesting output of this analysis is that Edgar Quero is dead last for catchers at -3.47 cCDQ while being 5th in Catcher Net Runs at +0.99. He's won enough high run value overturns to look good in run value terms, but cCDQ sees the full picture: 7 bad challenges and 9 missed opportunities alongside those 5 wins. Here's a full look at every called ball Quero's seen at the time of me writing this:

If you're curious what some of these correct non-challenges with no value being given to Quero look like, here are some examples: 1 2 3 4 5
