Andrew Fischer

Analysis
Fischer went from Duke to Ole Miss to Tennessee en route to totaling 56 homers while playing for a different school in each of his three college seasons. A lefty-hitting/righty-throwing first baseman/third baseman, Fischer will go as far as his bat takes him. He slashed .341/.497/.760 with 25 home runs, a 21.6 percent walk rate and a 14.4 percent strikeout year with the Volunteers this spring. He rarely chases (15.1 percent), and his 78.6 percent contact rate was passable. Fischer sits in a crouched stance and looks to launch homers to the pull side. He had an .827 OPS in the Cape Cod League last summer despite an unlucky .231 average, as he was able to control the zone (9:14 K:BB) while hitting three home runs in 19 games with a wood bat. Fischer may end up sitting against lefties at the highest level, but he should hit enough to play on the strong side of a platoon.
