It's only fitting that 2026's final edition of the Prospect Team of the Week would feature Andrew Fischer.
Throughout the Minor League campaign, the Brewers' No. 5 prospect has launched roundtripper after roundtripper, and he's pulled away with the Minor League lead -- and a chance for 50 homers.
Fischer has made the Prospect Team of the Week in Weeks 5, 10, 13, 20 and now 21, which puts him in elite company. In 11 seasons of these honors, only Yordan Alvarez (2019) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2018) have made five appearances in one campaign.
The 22-year-old has at least two weeks left in his season -- depending on playoffs and any potential promotions -- and has certainly had a season for the books.
To be eligible for the Pipeline Prospect Team of the Week, Minor League players must be ranked among their club's Top 30 prospects on Pipeline's lists. (Those in the Majors do not qualify.)
This is the Prospect Team of the Week for Aug. 31-Sept. 6:

C: Axiel Plaz, Greensboro Grasshoppers (High-A)
Pirates No. 7
.563/.667/1.250, 4 G, 9-for-16, 3 HR, 2 2B, 5 RBI, 7 R, 5 BB, 3 K, 1 CS
Plaz emerged as one of the more intriguing power prospects in the Pirates system after an impressive debut season in 2022, although injuries and strikeouts have held him back in the following two years. He's flipped the script this season with a career-high 92 games played and a 17.2 percent K rate that ranks seventh in the South Atlantic League. After going deep in three straight games to end last series, he has a career-best 18 homers this season and is slashing .305/.389/.513.
1B: Andrew Fischer, Biloxi Shuckers (Double-A)
Brewers No. 5
.375/.593/1.125, 6 G, 6-for-16, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 6 R, 10 BB, 7 K
The 2025 first-rounder continues to slug his way through the Southern League, with four of his six hits last week going for home runs. Fischer is up to 44 on the season, which is the most in the Minors since Ryan Howard's 46 in 2004, and has a 1.066 OPS that is best among qualified full-season Minor Leaguers. And when he's not socking dingers, the Tennessee product is showing a discerning eye, with 10 walks in 27 plate appearances last week. He's been a three-true-outcomes machine this season, with 60.3 percent of his PAs ending in a homer, walk or strikeout -- second only in the Minors to Royals No. 5 prospect Blake Mitchell (60.7 percent)
2B: Roc Roggio, Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple-A)
Rockies No. 13
.450/.500/.900, 5 G, 9-for-20, 2 HR, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 3 R, 2 BB, 6 K
Riggio is hitting his stride in his fourth series at Triple-A, with hits in every game, including back-to-back three-hit performances. This series alone increased his OPS with the Isotopes by 227 points. Both of his home runs last week came against sliders, which continued a trend of him hitting breaking balls (,292/.341/.533) well and sliders particularly well (.322/.359/.621). The 2023 fourth-rounder has also made a Prospect Team of the Week in Aug. 2024, July 2025 and July 2026.
3B: Jorge Quintana, Lake Elsinore Storm (Single-A)
Padres No. 11
.563/.611/1.000, 4 G, 9-for-16, 2 HR, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 7 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 3 SB
The Brewers landed Jesús Made and Luis Peña in the 2024 international period, but Quintana earned the highest signing bonus ($1.7 million) of their class. Shipped to San Diego at the 2025 Trade Deadline, Quintana hasn't developed as quickly as the other two, but he's ending his first season of full-season ball on quite a high note. The 19-year-old picked up multiple hits in all four games, while splitting his time between third base and shortstop, with a pair of homers in his last two contests.
SS: Henry Godbout, Portland Sea Dogs (Double-A)
Red Sox No. 6
.455/.455/1.045, 5 G, 10-for-22, 4 HR, 1 2B, 6 RBI, 5 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 1 SB
After a slow start following a promotion to Double-A, Godbout has consistently gotten on base, with hits in 15 of his past 17 games. The 2025 75th overall pick has taken his performance to another level lately, as well, with three consecutive three-hit games, complete with three home runs. The Virginia product missed nearly two months after undergoing surgery on a broken left hand but has a .924 OPS on the season, which ranks sixth in the Red Sox farm system among players with at least as many plate appearances as him.
OF: Braedon Karpathios, San Antonio Missions (Double-A)
Padres No. 19
.636/.667/1.045, 5 G, 14-for-22, 2 HR, 3 2B, 13 RBI, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 CS
After signing as a non-drafted free agent in 2022, Karpathios broke out power-wise last season with 15 homers. The former two-way player has a new career-high after going deep three times in his past seven games, a stretch in which he has multiple hits in every game. The 23-year-old even delivered a career-high five knocks on Wednesday. Karpathios will be Rule 5-eligible this offseason, so the Padres will have an interesting decision ahead of them as he's slashing .368./.353/.444 while playing at all three outfield positions.
OF: Andrew Williamson, Peoria Chiefs (High-A)
Cardinals No. 28
.545/.722/1.182, 4 G, 6-for-11, 2 HR, 1 2B, 4 RBI, 8 R, 5 BB, 2 K, 2 SB, 1 CS
Williams has played parts of five series since the Cardinals drafted him 68th overall, and last week was his strongest showing yet. The Central Florida product delivered his first pro multihomer game and his second three-hit game. The left-handed hitter has a well-rounded offensive profile led by above-average speed, which he showed on the basepaths.
OF: Aaron Walton, Akron RubberDucks (Double-A)
Guardians No. 9
.389/.542/.833, 5 G, 7-for-18, 2 HR, 2 2B, 8 RBI, 7 R, 5 BB, 4 K, 3 SB
The Guardians invested heavily in the college hitter demographic in the 2025 Draft, selecting six such players with their first seven picks, and Walton has been perhaps their best selection. Taken 66th overall, Walton has played far better center field defense than hoped while maintaining his power-speed offensive profile. The Arizona product showed off that toolset last week when he became the 12th Minor Leaguer to post a 20-30 season. Between High-A and Double-A this year, he's slashing .265/.390/.491 with 24 hit-by-pitches (sixth-most in the Minors).
LHP: Hayden Mullins, Portland Sea Dogs (Double-A)
Red Sox No. 27
0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 10 K, 0.33 WHIP
Mullins made a spot start with Triple-A Worcester on July 8 as part of a doubleheader and has returned to Double-A much improved. In his past eight starts, he's given up multiple runs just once, and last week's start was his best yet, with 10 K's across six scoreless. The 2022 12th-rounder has seen an increase in swing-and-miss this season, with a 37 percent whiff rate or better on his fastball, slider and changeup.
RHP: Brody McCullough, Knoxville Smokies (Double-A)
Cubs No. 29
0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K, 0.40 WHIP
The Cubs farm system lacks much pitching depth, but McCullough has been one of their top performers after elbow issues cost him all of last season. The 2022 10th-rounder has returned to post a 3.60 ERA across 50 innings with a 27.1 percent strikeout rate and a .194 average against. Last time out, he delivered a career-high 10 strikeouts across five scoreless innings.
RP: Casey Hintz, Everett AquaSox (High-A)
Mariners No. 27
1-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 G, 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 0.33 WHIP
Hintz makes hitters uncomfortable with his funky sidearm delivery, which has led to plenty of strikeouts since the Mariners drafted him in the 16th round last year. The 22-year-old is up to 85 K's in 71 innings after he added four more last week across three scoreless frames while facing one batter over the minimum.
