2024 Fantasy Outlook
Amaya made his big-league debut last summer but garnered just nine plate appearances in four games. He slashed .252/.344/.406 with 15 home runs and six steals in 128 games at Triple-A, marking the third straight year with double-digit long balls after previously showing much less pop. The 25-year-old has no guarantees but is likely to receive another look with the Marlins in 2024, especially since utility man Jon Berti represents the only real established roadblock at shortstop.

ANALYSIS
Amaya received a cup of coffee in the big leagues last June when the Marlins were short on healthy bodies in the infield, but he otherwise spent the bulk of the 2023 campaign at Jacksonville, where he slashed .252/.344/.406 with 15 home runs and six stolen bases across 567 plate appearances. The 25-year-old likely doesn't require much further developmental time in the minors, but it may take an injury to either of the Marlins' projected everyday starters in the middle infield -- Tim Anderson and Luis Arraez -- before Amaya gets an extended look in the majors.

Stat Review
How does Jacob Amaya compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster chances slimming?
The Marlins offered Tim Anderson a contract to be their starting shortstop Wednesday, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, which if completed likely means Amaya will begin the season at Triple-A Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Amaya was never guaranteed a place on Miami's Opening Day roster, but adding Anderson would shrink the possibility of him making it significantly. The 25-year-old made his major-league debut last season with nine plate appearances and had 15 home runs and a .750 OPS in 128 contests at Triple-A. If Anderson is ultimately signed, Jon Berti should serve as the Marlins' backup shortstop and primary utility man.

If Anderson is ultimately signed, Jon Berti should serve as the Marlins' backup shortstop and primary utility man.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
For the first time as a pro, Amaya flashed a bit of power at Double-A in 2021, swatting 12 homers across 476 plate appearances. It was encouraging to see him follow that up with 17 long balls over 567 plate appearances between Double-A and Triple-A last season, boosting his big-league outlook considerably. The 24-year-old is already more than capable with the glove, as he possesses quick hands and a strong, accurate arm that make him arguably the best defensive infield prospect in the system. Despite the recent gains, it's unlikely that Amaya will ever be more than an average power hitter, and he isn't projected to be a big base stealer in the majors. He could debut in 2023, and his chance to evolve long-term into an everyday player rather than be relegated to a utility role will likely hinge on how well he can sustain the power gains without too heavily sacrificing the consistent-contact approach that kept him afloat during his early seasons in the minors.
