It’s now been a year and a half since Adael Amador signed with the Rockies, but he still hasn’t made it into an official game. Amador was the highest-rated signing for the Rockies in the July 2 period in 2019, representing the 12th-highest ranked player by MLB Pipeline. The now 17-year-old shortstop (born in 2003!) signed with Colorado for $1.5 million, giving him the equivalent of an early second round draft bonus.

Because Amador has yet to make his professional debut, I’m leaning heavily on scouting reports to piece together what type of prospect he is.
