Tennesse baseball players have been killing it in the pros. Former Vol pitcher Chase Dollander is one of the most improved pitchers in th MLB. Drew Gilbert has been off to a nice start playing for former head coach Tony Vitello, and another Vol is on a very hot streak in the minors.
Josh Elander’s first season is already rewriting Tennessee baseball history books
Former Tennessee Volunteers baseball infielder Andrew Fischer has been tearing it up in the pros. Right now, he’s in High-A ball with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the Milwaukee organization, where he’s hit four home runs in his last four games. Not only has he been hot as of late, but all seaosn he's been showing up. Through 30 games this season, he has five home runs, six doubles, and a .938 OPS.

Andrew Fischer is building off a hot college career
Fischer was a standout at Tennessee. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted him in the first round last summer, taking him 20th overall. In his third year of college, he had a huge season, batting .341 with a 1.257 OPS, hitting 25 home runs, and helping lead Tennessee to the Super Regional. He led Tenensse in home runs by a wide margin of 10. Plus, he was third on the team in batting average while also being a reliable fielder at third base.
Against professional competition, Fischer hasn’t slowed down at all. He’s been dominating High-A ball and even competed for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. In four games, Fischer posted a .357 average with a 1.152 OPS against major league competition. He went 1-for-3 with a walk in the semifinals against Venezuela, who won the tournament. His ability to adjust to professional pitching has been remarkable, something many players struggle with early on. There's a reason he's the No. 12 Brewers prospect right now.
The next step for Fischer is to keep it going once he reaches Double-A. He’s just 21, so he’s got plenty of time to make it to the majors. But if he keeps this up, he’ll move quickly through the system.
