Biographical Information

Middle infielder Adael Amador was signed by the Colorado Rockies organization on July 2, 2019. He was assigned to the Grand Junction Rockies on March 5, 2020, but the minor leagues weren't in operation that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so he had to wait until 2021 to get his professional career underway.

He debuted with the Arizona Complex League Rockies in 2021 and slashed .299/.394/.445 in 47 games. He hit 10 doubles and 4 home runs in 164 at bats, walked 27 times, and stole 10 bases. However, he committed 8 errors at shortstop for a .920 fielding percentage. His defense improved in 2022, though. Moving on to the class A Fresno Grizzlies, his fielding percentage went up to .945, and his range numbers improved. At the plate, he smacked 24 doubles and 15 long balls, which accompanied a .292/.415/.455 slash line. He walked 87 times and only struck out 67 times in 555 plate appearances. In addition, he swiped 26 bases.

Prior to the 2023 season, he was rated as the #68 prospect by mlb.com. He was also rated the Rockies' #2 prospect behind Zac Veen. He was originally assigned back to Fresno, but was moved up to the A+ Spokane Indians on April 18th, a little more than a week into the season. He hit safely in 20 of his fist 23 games in Spokane, and didn't have two consecutive hitless games until May 16 and 17. On May 20th, he hit three home runs in a 13-5 drubbing of the Everett AquaSox.
