Defense-first catcher with limited 2026 offense
Amaro enters 2026 as a graduate-student catcher for North Carolina A&T, but the current numbers show a contact/production dip: through 28 games, he hit .172 with a .273 on-base percentage and no home runs, after a stronger 2025 (.295 average, 19 RBI in 42 games). His value is likely more about catcher stability, game management, and experience than bat-first impact, which makes him a fit if you need a mature backstop who can handle the staff and add depth behind the plate rather than drive the lineup.[1][2]
