No, Amaya’s presence is not going to dictate what the Cubs do or do not do for 2023, but it’s absolutely possible that, by the end of 2023, he’s set himself up to be a viable starting or back-up option in 2024. Total.ĭespite that, there is still belief in Miguel Amaya as a future big league defensive catcher, with a bat that could range anywhere from solidly below average (the in-game power never comes, and that erodes the walks and BABIP so that the total slash is weak) to solidly above average (the in-game power does come, the discipline stays strong). The guy just needs the at bats: since 2019, he’s had just 229 plate appearances. He’s hit almost exactly league average in that time split between the complex and Double-A (.240/.350/.375/99 wRC+, 13.8% BB, 25.2% K), but the sample is obviously tiny.

Miguel Amaya is a journalist currently working as a community journalist for ABS 7.

Higgins under control for 2023 behind the plate, and expected to be on the big league roster.
