Amador had a better 2024 than you likely remember, but it wasn’t a smooth season for him. After a torrid two-year span that lifted the switch-hitting 21-year-old second baseman from top 10 in the system to top 30 in MLB, expectations were high for Amador entering 2024. The 6’0”, 200-pound middle infielder was the highest-rated international signing for the Rockies in 2019, representing the 15th-highest ranked player in that class by MLB Pipeline. He signed with Colorado for $1.5 million — giving him the equivalent of an early-second-round draft bonus — but only got into professional games in late June 2021 for the Arizona Complex Level team due largely to the lost 2020 season.
