Biographical Information

Infielder Andrew Fischer was the 20th pick of the 2025 amateur draft, taken by the Milwaukee Brewers out of the University of Tennessee; the scout was Ketchum Marsh. Fischer had actually played for three different schools during his collegiate career, starting off with Duke University as a freshman in 2023, followed by one season with the University of Mississippi and one with the Tennessee Volunteers. In that final season, he batted .341 with 25 homers and 65 RBIs in as many games. Baseball America and the American Baseball Coaches Association both named him as an All-American.

After signing with Milwaukee, he was assigned to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers of the Midwest League, where he hit .311 in 19 games. Before the 2026 season, he was invited to join the Italian national team for the 2026 World Baseball Classic; his maternal great-grandfather was from Italy. In spite of being one of the youngest players on the team, he became the starting third baseman for a team that surprised all observers by winning its first five games thanks to a dominating offense. In the quarter finals against Puerto Rico, he came within a foot of hitting a grand slam, when his drive to right field with the bases loaded in the 4th inning was caught by a fan in the first row at Daikin Park; however, the umpires ruled that the fan had leant over the railing to catch the ball, which would not have cleared the fence on its own, and he was awarded a two-run double instead.
