MLB Draft Combine 2025: Meet the 10 Rising Stars Who Shocked Scouts in Phoenix This Week

“I look to do damage, like, at all times,” Fischer told Yahoo Sports. “It doesn’t matter — two strikes, 2-0, whatever — just want to make my presence known in the box. I want to be intimidating for the pitcher. I want them to feel my presence and almost be afraid to miss in the zone.”
Fischer’s mantra at the plate is reflected in his statistics, which have improved each season as he has become more disciplined with his approach. A 25.5% strikeout rate as a freshman was slashed to just 14.4% as a junior, and his slugging (.595 to .760) and walks (13.9% to 21.6%) ticked up in turn. Fischer did not participate in the on-field-workout portion of the combine, but that was hardly a surprise; his body of work dominating Division I pitching for three years speaks for itself and should result in Fischer hearing his name called at some point in the back half of the first round.
