Primarily a corner outfielder at UC Irvine, where he wasn't an everyday player, Fisher has found a home at the hot corner since signing for $25,000 as a 15th-round pick in 2010. He played some third base at short-season Jamestown in his pro debut, when he led the New York-Penn League with 41 extra-base hits, and move there full-time in 2011, when he topped the system with 58 extra-base hits. Fisher's bat speed gives him solid power and he consistently hits the ball hard--when he hits it. His strikeouts result more from his bat not staying in the zone long enough than from chasing pitches outside of it, and he may always provide more power than average. Fisher struggles versus lefthanders, posting a .638 OPS against them last year compared to an .868 mark against righties. He's at his best when he focuses on driving the ball to left-center. Fisher's speed is a hair below average but he's quick enough to move back to the outfield if necessary. He has the tools to play third base, however, with good range and a solid arm. His feet are getting quicker, though he still has room yet to improve. He has a great work ethic, frequently arriving early for extra drills. Fisher will take his extra-base bat to high Class A in 2012, when he'll work on making better contact and solving southpaws.
