2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Amador may be closer to providing fantasy value 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 non-tendered Brendan Rodgers and brought in Kyle Farmer as a short-term caretaker at the keystone, but a strong spring training and/or a strong start at Triple-A could lead to Amador becoming an everyday big leaguer early this summer.

Activated, optioned to Double-A
The Rockies reinstated Amador (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Double-A Hartford.
ANALYSIS
Amador has been playing in rehab games with Hartford while working his way back from a right oblique strain, and he will remain with the Yard Goats now that he's made a full recovery. The 21-year-old went just 6-for-35 (.171) during his first career stint in the majors, and with a .659 OPS through 213 Double-A plate appearances, he clearly still needs more time to develop before he's ready for a more permanent role on the Rockies.

Stat Review
How does Adael Amador compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.
