Andrew Fischer just became the first Milwaukee Brewers prospect since 2001 to smash 30 home runs, cementing his status as an untouchable asset despite rising strikeout concerns.
The Milwaukee Brewers' No. 7 prospect Andrew Fischer is on an all-time heater.
Fischer, 22, just recorded his 30th home run of the 2026 season.
That not only puts him among the top home run hitters in all of the minor leagues, but it allows him to be just the second Brewers prospect to have a 30-home run season this century.
Officially, Fischer's 30th homer made him the first Brewers' minor leaguer to do so since 2001.
Milwaukee's No. 20 overall pick from 2025 has delivered, to say the least, and there's no doubt he's absolutely off limits at the upcoming trade deadline.
Fischer is undeniable
No matter what has been thrown at Fischer, he's been able to get past all of it. He's not the team's top prospect yet, and it's crazy to think he's not even in the MLB's Pipeline Top 100.
Fischer is currently hitting .283 with a remarkable 1.086 OPS. He's on a historic rise, and it's possible he could reach Triple-A by the end of the season. Seeing as his ETA is listed as 2027, it wouldn't be surprising to at least see him get a shot in Nashville before the end of the year; that way, he's ready to start at Triple-A next season.
Since being promoted to Double-A Biloxi, Fischer is slashing .253/.387/.636. Somehow, his .636 slugging percentage is lower than it was during his time at High-A (.675).
It's crazy to think that in just 99 at-bats, Fischer already has double-digit homers at AA. He crushed 20 homers and 50 RBIs with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, but now he's already racked up 10 homers and 20 RBIs with the Biloxi Shuckers.
The former Tennessee Volunteers slugger has 31 career homers and 80 career RBIs. Keep in mind that's come in just 102 games and 364 at-bats.
Fischer should be untouchable at the deadline
In no world should the Brewers even consider trading Fischer. This would be the ultimate situation of them selling high, but there's a chance Fischer has only scratched the surface of what he's capable of.
Much like the New York Yankees were worried about with Spencer Jones, strikeouts are an issue with Fischer. He's struck out 123 times this season alone, and 41 of those have come in his 99 Double-A at-bats.
That said, there's no reason to trade Fischer. Milwaukee has a plethora of highly touted prospects, ones that can be replaced much more easily than Fischer.
