Scouting Report

3/02/24

Fisher looks the part of future-Friday night starter at the next level and was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the event. An athletic, 6-foot-3, 200 pounder that doubles as QB1 in the fall - Fisher effortlessly sat 90-93 mph with fastball that he showed plus command of. His four-pitch mix tunneled off of his heater - starting with a tightly spun, 83-85 mph slider (2737 avg spin). The Indiana recruit tossed a slurve with sweeping properties at 77-78 mph, averaging -16.6" of horizontal break with just 0.1" of depth. His changeup faded to the arm-side at 84-85 mph, and he can really command that pitch, as well. A projectable frame, paired with prisitine arm action in a balanced delivery, and plus command of an advanced four-pitch arsenal cements Fisher as one of the top players in the class.
