It's taken quite some time, but the Milwaukee Brewers are finally promoting Andrew Fischer.

Fischer had 74 at-bats with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in 2025 and was able to rack up 191 already with the team here in 2026.

In those 191 at-bats, Fischer has a team-high 20 home runs as he's shown incredible feats of power in his young career.

The 22-year-old is already older than Cooper Pratt, who is on his way to the big leagues, but Fischer was the Brewers' No. 20 overall pick in 2025 for a reason.

Now, according to MILB Central's Chase Ford, he's officially being promoted to Double-A.

Pratt's promotion to the big leagues has been long overdue, but the Brewers tend to be extremely patient with their top prospects. For a guy like Fischer, things are no different. His whiff rate and strikeout percentages are well documented, and it's not like Milwaukee is a team that relies solely on hitting home runs to get the job done.

Fischer sports a 39.2% Whiff%, a number that didn't seem to be getting any better with the Timber Rattlers.

He could be in for a rude awakening with the Shuckers, but only time will tell and the Brewers thought this move was a long time coming. It was only a matter of time before they promoted him, and at the end of the day going through the minors is all about seeing who sinks and who swims. 

Again, Fischer had a K% of 33.33% which means he's striking out roughly one out of every three at-bats. That simply can't happen, and if those numbers fail to come down in Double-A, one can only imagine he'll be back with the Timber Rattlers in no time.

Fischer is a true home run hitter who's power is undeniable. There's no arguing that, but maybe getting some extra eyes on him at the next level can help bring down his whiff or strikeout percentage. 

MLB recognizes Fischer as the No. 5 third-base prospect in all of baseball. Somehow, the Brewers happened to stumble upon both him and Jett Williams.

Williams has an ETA of 2026 while Fischer's is 2027. Knowing both of those players are within the organization, there's absolutely no need to rush things with Fischer. Barring any strange circumstances, it's hard not to imagine Fischer being in Biloxi for the remainder of 2026.
