Miguel Amaya struggled at the plate during his first go around with the Chicago Cubs during spring training. He slashed just .160/.160/.200 with four hits in 25 plate appearances, striking out in nearly one-third of said appearances.
Clearly, Amaya needs more seasoning at the dish. Aside from his offensive woes this spring, Amaya slashed .235/.351/.402 in High-A ball and he will have to make tangible improvements with the Smokies in order to keep progressing through Chicago’s pipeline.
With that being said, there are reasons to believe Amaya could be back in the majors should the Cubs reach the postseason.
