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

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.

Amador is an extremely advanced hitter for his age (19), showcasing an excellent combination of patience and in-zone contact. Most scouts agree he projects as a plus hitter. Beyond the hit tool, there are some undetermined aspects of his scouting report. Five of his 15 homers came in the extremely homer-friendly park in Stockton (a road park in the Cal League), and his 15.9 Hard% is quite poor for a top-100 prospect. He was 26-for-38 (68.4%) on stolen-base attempts, which is a pretty poor success rate for an above-average runner against Single-A batterymen. Another knock on Amador is that he will probably move from shortstop to second base. Sometimes players with this profile can turn into Vaughn Grissom, and sometimes they turn into utility players. The Rockies have favorable affiliate parks at High-A and Triple-A with a neutral Double-A park, so Amador will have chances to keep raising his perceived dynasty stock before reaching the majors.
