Adael Alexander Amador (born April 11, 2003) is a Dominican professional baseball shortstop for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Career
Amador signed with the Colorado Rockies as an international free agent on July 2, 2019.[1][2] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
Amador made his professional debut in 2021 with the rookie–level Arizona Complex League Rockies, hitting .299/.394/.445 with four home runs and 24 runs batted in (RBI) over 47 games. He spent the 2022 season with the Single–A Fresno Grizzlies, hitting .292/.415/.445 with 15 home runs, 57 RBI, and 26 stolen bases across 115 games.[4]
Amador split the 2023 campaign between the ACL Rockies, High–A Spokane Indians, and Double–A Hartford Yard Goats. In 69 appearances split between the three affiliates, he hit .287/.380/.495 with 12 home runs, 46 RBI, and 15 stolen bases.[5] On November 14, 2023, the Rockies added Amador to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He was optioned to Double–A Hartford to begin the 2024 season.[6]
On June 8, 2024, Amador was called up to the major leagues for the first time.[7]
