Officially, no minor league baseball player this century has hit more home runs than prized Milwaukee Brewers prospect Andrew Fischer.

Fischer, the team's No. 5 prospect, is still outside of MLB Pipeline's top 100.

That is a bit of a headscratcher, to say the least, but his high strikeout percentage likely has something to do with that.

To call Fischer boom or bust would be an understatement, but the 22-year-old just hit his 47th homer of the year, which officially gives him the fifth-most homers since 1963.

The road to 50 is on, and there are only three minor leaguers in the modern era who have hit 50+ since 1963. 

The Biloxi Shuckers, Milwaukee's Double-A affiliate, only have three regular season games remaining before the playoffs.

Fischer has had some crazy home run streaks before, but at this point in the year it seems nearly impossible for him to reach the 55 home runs that Bill McNulty hit with Triple-A Sacramento back in 1974.

From here, he can tie Tony Solaita in fourth place if he's able to get to 49, and then a 50th blast would put him tied for third with Ron Kittle.

At this point, it would basically take a home run a day for Fischer to join the extremely exclusive 50-home-run club, but it's not out of the question.

Since being promoted to Double-A, Fischer has hit 27 homers in 69 games. Many wondered if his power would translate to the next level, but clearly, that's been the last thing anyone has needed to worry about.

Currently, the only Brewers prospects ranked higher than Fischer are (from fourth to first): Brady Ebel, Josh Adamczewski, Luis Pena, and Jesus Made.

Four of those five are infielders, so while Fischer is listed as a third baseman, there's a chance the Brewers need to move Made, who's also the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, over to third to make room for him in the big leagues.

Remember, Fischer has a 2027 ETA, which puts him in the same conversation as Made. Pena and Adamczewski both have 2028 ETA's while Ebel's ETA isn't until 2029.

Whether or not Fischer debuts next year remains to be seen, especially since neither he nor Made has played at Triple-A yet in their young careers.

Obviously, that's not going to happen here in 2026, but it's not a long shot to expect both will start at Triple-A Nashville in 2027.
