#42 Andrew Fischer
3B Tennessee
20/years old
6' 1" 205
Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 60 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 |
Field: 40 | Overall: 50
After setting a Duke freshman record with 11 homers in 2023,
Fischer transferred to Mississippi and led the Rebels with 20 dingers last
spring. He changed schools again, moving to defending College World Series
champion Tennessee. He's similar to former Volunteers third baseman Billy
Amick, who transferred from Clemson for 2024 and went to the Twins in the
second round.
Fischer's signature tool is his plus power that works to all
fields, the product of a left-handed swing with bat speed and loft, strength in
his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame and a slugging mindset. He showed that he can
launch balls in the air with wood bats last summer in the Cape Cod League. He
could be even more productive if he tones down his approach, because his
aggressiveness leads to struggles against non-fastballs and strikeouts.
He also could help his cause by upgrading his defense at
third base, something Amick was able to do during his lone season in Knoxville.
Fischer has below-average speed and range, though his solid arm strength is an
asset at the hot corner. He played some second base on the Cape but lacks the
quickness for the position.

13. Andrew Fischer – 3B
HT/WT: 6’1/205 | Bat/Throw: L/R | School: Tennessee | Age:
21.1
After a fantastic freshman campaign at Duke, Fischer
transferred to Ole Miss where he didn’t skip a beat against better competition.
He’s a physical left-handed bat with a ton of juice in the bat, most notably to
his pull side.
It’s a violent swing with natural loft and bat speed,
allowing Fischer to pull the ball in the air with dangerous intent. Fischer did
up his swing rate against the SEC, jumping from 36% at Duke to 43% at Ole Miss,
which was attributed to a heightened chase rate.
He does have some issues with spin, though he did show better
with Brewster in a smaller sample size and stayed in the zone more. Plus,
Fischer absolutely annihilates heaters.
If Fischer takes this approach change to the SEC in 2025,
it’s hard to envision him falling outside of the first two rounds. In the
field, Fischer isn’t the fleetest of foot and can get a bit clunky, leading to
limited range, but he has the arm strength to handle the hot corner or a corner
outfield position.
He will join the defending champions in Knoxville for the
2025 season and is expected to be a catalyst for an offense that was poached
hard in the draft.

Tennessee
3B/OF ANDREW FISCHER (OLE MISS TO TENNESSEE)
The Tennessee Volunteers were quiet on the transfer portal,
and then, all of a sudden, they landed two of the top bats in the entire
transfer class in Fischer and Kilen. We will start with Fischer, who provided
some serious pop for Ole Miss.
Fischer began his collegiate career at Duke in 2023 before
transferring to Ole Miss for his sophomore year.
Fischer is a bat-first prospect who generates a ton of power,
as he’s seen max EVs up to 113 mph. Fischer generates most of his power to the
pull side. He couples that with decent barrel-to-ball skills and the ability to
get on base, as he sports a near 14% BB rate.
Defensively, Fischer’s home is a bit unknown because he’s a
bit clunky at third base, but has the arm strength to handle the position if he
can improve there. He should fill in nicely in the heart of the Volunteers
lineup.
