Scouting report

Here I have a scout who saw Amador get hurt during instructs ("they were checking out his hand") and two others who didn't see him at all, so his report remains the same: Amador has already gotten stronger and twitchier than he appeared to be on the amateur circuit, and he flashed some in-game power in the 2019 Tricky League. For a switch-hitter this young, Amador already has fairly advanced feel to hit in games, even if the swings aren't always pretty. He's medium-framed and likely to grow into some more power, but probably not a ton. He's graceful and athletic enough that I also consider him likely to stay on the middle infield, though I'm not sure if it'll be at second base or shortstop. There's everyday ceiling here, but of course, teenagers are quite volatile. (Fall Instructional League)
