Andrew Fischer became the third Tennessee baseball star to be drafted in the 2025 MLB Draft after the Milwaukee Brewers called his name with the No. 20 overall pick.
Similar to teammate Gavin Kilen, who was drafted No. 13 by the San Fransisco Giants, Fischer offers great plate vision and has the potential to be a reliable run producer for the Brewers.
Fischer is coming off a senior season in which he hit .324 with a .455 slugging percentage and 15 home runs in just 93 at-bats. His plate discipline, combined with power numbers, creates a dynamic plate presence.
He will join fellow VFL and first baseman Blake Burke in the Brewers minor league system as they both hope to rise through the minors and become an everyday player for Milwaukee.
Burke and Fischer may become starters for the Brewers in the coming seasons. Fischer has experience playing third base during his time at Ole Miss and could also probably play one of the corner outfield positions given time to develop with the Brewers.
The Brewers need a power bat from a corner infield spot to round out its farm system of potential future MLB starters. That alone makes Fischer a high-upside and valuable asset in the Brewers' minor league system.
Prep Baseball predicted Fischer would be drafted No. 20 by the Brewers and describes Fischer as a hitter who is "polished, quick-moving bat is a perfect complement to the slick-fielding Houston who the Brewers took at No. 20, in this mock."
Milwaukee is receiving a left-handed bat that offers strong plate discipline and power-hitting potential at the Major League level. It is something the Brewers desperately need in its minor league system from a corner infield position, and he has the potential to be one of the best bats in Milwaukee in a few years.
