Scouting Report

The White Sox drafted Fisher in the fourth round of the 2016 draft, and some publications projected him to go a round or two earlier. He signed a slightly under-slot deal ($485,000). As a redshirt junior, Fisher led Division I baseball in OBP (.558) and was second in batting average (.424), and had a 1.250 OPS. Fisher was the age of a typical senior (22) that year as he missed all of 2015 to a torn labrum. A catcher before his injury, Southeastern Louisiana tried him out at first base. The White Sox had him in a corner outfield spot before shifting him back to first in 2019.

In 2016 at Great Falls, he had no problems against rookie league pitching (.342/.436/.487, plus 13 SB). In 2017 Fisher made marked improvements in the outfield, but struggled with his bat at times. Between A and A+, he posted a .744 OPS which is less than one would expect from a polished profile. Still, Fisher was moved up to Double-A due to an outfield glut, where he was challenged and it showed. He finished at .216/.321/.321, striking out 30.5% of the time.

The White Sox sent Fisher back to Winston-Salem in 2019 and his numbers were similar to his first trip in A ball two years ago. The decision to demote him more or less cemented his lack of prospect status.

Fisher came in with an advanced approach at the plate and a smooth swing from the left side, and his mustache game is on point. He draws a lot of walks, but has below average power for either corner outfield or first base.
