Adael Amador is a second baseman for the Colorado Rockies. In 2026 he hit 4 home runs and knocked in 16 RBIs, notching 23 hits across 95 plate appearances in 27 games. His batting average was .277, 13.6% higher than the league average of .244. He reached base at a .362 clip and slugged .482, for an OPS of .844, 17.3% higher than the league mark of .719. He averaged 82.3 mph off the bat, hit 25.0% of balls in play at 95 mph or better, barrelled 5.6% of them and made contact on 83.8% of his swings. Adjusted for his ballpark and league, his 128 wRC+ puts his offence 28% above average. That comes to 0.8 dbWAR — +3.8 runs with the bat, -0.3 for the ballpark, -0.1 on the bases, +0.9 on double plays, +0.1 for the position he plays, against replacement level. It includes no fielding: defensive runs are proprietary and are not estimated here, so the figure credits playing a demanding position but not playing it well.
