Adael Amador is a fantasy baseball prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know for Week 10 (2024). Read MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies, call-ups.
PROSPECT: Adael Amador, 2B, Colorado Rockies
CURRENT LEVEL: Double-A
2024 STATS: 39 G, .179/.339/.271, Four HR, 16 RBI, 26 R, 18 SB, 17.8% BB%, 18.4% K%, .202 BABIP, .306 wOBA, 88 wRC+
ANALYSIS: Amador is one of the best hitters in minor league baseball, making terrific pure contact. He combines his bat-to-ball skills with plus speed, making him a threat to leg out extra-base hits and swipe bags. He also has a phenomenal 1.03 K/BB ratio this season, confirming that he has great zone awareness, works walks, and cuts down on strikeouts. The biggest void in his offensive profile is his power; Amador won't slug more than 12 to 20 homers in a season. Defensively, he possesses average glovework but will likely patrol second base long-term.

Amador went on a tear against Portland last week, going 10-for-31 (.323) with four homers, 10 RBI, seven walks, and eight strikeouts. He also continued to show his ability on the basepaths, swiping three bags. His best game came on Saturday as he went 5-for-6 with two homers, three singles, five RBI, and four runs scored. The 21-year-old has had subpar numbers for much of this year, but this hot week might be enough for a promotion to Triple-A in the near future.
