Draft Prospects

School: Auburn Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.9

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

After a fantastic true freshman season in 2023, Fisher struggled more in 2024 and pitched his way to a 7.13 ERA. While he got hit around at times, Fisher still notched 76 strikeouts in 59.1 innings. His fastball sits in the 91-93 mph range and has touched 95 with some carry through the zone. Fisher’s best secondary pitch is his high-70s/low-80s slider. It flashes long, sweeping action with some teeth at times. Fisher has advanced feel for the pitch and manipulates its shape well. To round out his arsenal, Fisher throws a mid-80s changeup that is a work in progress, but has flashed ample fading life.
School: Northwest Whitfield HS, Tunnel Hill, Ga. Committed/Drafted: Florida
Age At Draft: 18.9
A projection lefthander with a 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame, Fisher is a pure pitcher who stands out for his control and feel to mix and match rather than overpowering stuff. Last summer he mostly worked in the upper 80s and touched 91, and that velocity has been similar for him this spring. He misses more bats than you would expect given the velocity, thanks to solid deception and hiding the ball behind him in his delivery. He has good feel for a slider and changeup that should both become average pitches, with the slider getting above-average future grades with more power. Currently his breaking ball is a mid-70s, sweepy pitch that needs more sharpness and bite. With a chance for plus control, Fisher has strong starter traits, but his lack of velocity and a Florida commitment could mean clubs let him go to campus to continue his development in the SEC.
