View Draft Report
Righthander Jeff Fischer was the MAC 2006 pitcher of the year, and scouts eagerly awaited his matchup against Central Michigan's Josh Collmenter in early May. Collmenter got the best of him that day, fanning 14 in a 10-0 victory, but the difference between the two is minimal. Fischer has a better body (6-foot-5, 200 pounds) and a more conventional arm slot, though he has a wrist wrap in his delivery. His changeup is his best pitch, though he relies on it too much at times and hitters sit on it late in games. Fischer's fastball ranges from 85-91 mph and he also throws a slider.
