Andy Fisher is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Andy Fisher, SP, Cincinnati Reds
ANALYSIS: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois by the Reds in 2019, Fisher was a college lefty with the stuff you'd expect from one, not an elite fastball, excellent secondary stuff, and poise on the mound.
That profile tends to play well in lower levels, and Fisher moved to a long-man role in the bullpen and had significant success in A-ball. However, 2022 saw Fisher move to Double-A, and with the move came a notable uptick in walks, leading to a 1.71 WHIP over 44 innings.
This season, Fisher is 27, 2.6 years older than the average Southern League player, and he's finding more consistency in his offerings using the tackified ball. That's led to a 2.38 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 22 2/3 innings.
VERDICT: Fisher's stuff really doesn't belong at the back of a bullpen nor in a rotation, but he could work a role akin to Jesse Chavez for the right club as long as his stuff continues to progress. No reason to add at this time.
