Brewers' No. 6 prospect Fischer starts off Double-A tenure with a big bang

The hits and homers have been coming fast and furious for Andrew Fischer in his first full professional season.
And it doesn't seem like playing at new level is going to change that.
Promoted to Double-A on Monday, Milwaukee's No. 6 prospect kicked off his time in Biloxi with a homer in his first at-bat during a 9-4 loss to visiting Columbus on Wednesday night at Keesler Federal Park.
Fischer's organizational-leading 21st roundtripper of the season was the latest highlight in a season that is quickly turning into something special. The Brewers' 2025 first-round pick (20th overall) has hit safely in 10 of 11 games this month and is batting over .400 in that span.
Fischer had to wait until the home half of the second inning to take his first official hacks as a Shucker. After taking a ball and fouling off a pitch, the 22-year-old laced a laser over the right-field fence for his third roundtripper in five games and his sixth in June.
Although the jack was the only knock of the game for Fischer, he also walked for the 46th time this year proving that his overall offensive approach and growth merited a promotion after putting up All-Star-worthy numbers with High-A Wisconsin.
The New Jersey native ended his tenure in the Midwest League as the circuit's leader in homers (20) and RBIs (50). Fischer has been red-hot since mid-May, batting .368 with 11 long balls, 24 RBIs and 28 walks in his final 23 Timber Rattlers games.
Including his Double-A debut, the lefty-swinging third baseman has hit safely in 20 of his past 24 games, pushing his slash line to .297/.442/.682 in 251 plate appearances.
Fischer's thunderous first half has quickly elevated his already lofty prospect stock, most notably his power. After hitting just one homer in 19 games with Wisconsin during his pro debut last year, the Tennessee product has tapped into the slugging prowess that enabled him to reach the seats 25 times during his final collegiate season in 2025, which ranked second among all NCAA Division I players.
It's an encouraging sign for the Brewers, who are keenly watching as Fischer continues to find results with each challenge he's been given during his brief career.
