2025 Fantasy Outlook
Amador is a better fantasy prospect than one would guess based on his 2024 surface stats. The 21-year-old second baseman slashed .230/.343/.376, good for a 111 wRC+, in 100 games at Double-A and hit .171 with one extra-base hit in 10 big-league games. He didn't show any signs of weakness prior to reaching Double-A, and things were quite ugly early in the year (.456 OPS in first 31 games), but Amador righted the ship and slashed .260/.354/.461 with 14 home runs and 20 steals in his final 68 games. His 19.3 percent strikeout rate and 13.6 percent walk rate are very strong marks for a player his age at Double-A. Amador doesn't hit the ball particularly hard (22.1 Hard%, 19.0 Soft% at Double-A), but his command of the zone and quality rate of contact should allow him to hit 10-20 home runs during his peak seasons. The big selling point is that he could hit for a very high average (thanks in part to Coors Field) while stealing 20-plus bases and potentially hitting first or second in the lineup. The Rockies brought in Thairo Estrada to be the short-term answer at second base, but Amador could displace him this summer. Read Past Outlooks
Headed to Triple-A
The Rockies optioned Amador to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Amador surprisingly made the jump from Double-A Hartford to the majors last June, but he slashed just .171/.194/.200 over 10 games with the Rockies before being shut down with a right oblique strain. Once healthy, he was optioned back to Hartford, where he finished the season with a .227/.341/.373 slash line to go with 14 home runs and 35 stolen bases across 453 plate appearances. Though the Rockies non-tendered Brendan Rodgers in November, the team brought in Thairo Estrada on a one-year deal later in the offseason, and he projects to open the season as Colorado's everyday second baseman. However, given the minimal investment in Estrada, the Rockies likely won't hesitate to open up a full-time role for Amador once the organization is confident that he's ready for another look in the big leagues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A 6-foot middle infielder with one of the best approaches and hit tools in the minors, Amador has a chance to contend for batting titles in his prime. Unfortunately, injuries limited him to 69 games (including rehab assignments), but he was able to reach Double-A as a 20-year-old. The skilled switch hitter made notable exit velocity gains last year, notching a career-best 110.4-mph maxEV while upping his hard-hit rate and average exit velocity. Even with those gains, he doesn't barrel the ball regularly enough to the pull side to project for more than 15-20 homer pop at peak, and he's not the type of burner on the bases who projects to top 20 steals in a season, even if he's on base all the time. Amador's overall fantasy profile is similar to Rockies era DJ LeMahieu, where batting average/OBP and runs scored will be his banner stats. He was added to the 40-man roster and could make his big-league debut this summer. Ezequiel Tovar is the superior defender, so Amador's long-term home is likely second base.
