The Milwaukee Brewers are not an organization known for producing many power bats, but rather a team that focuses on developing toolsy players to play their style of baseball.
However, Andrew Fischer seems to be an exception. In a Minor League system full of players like Brice Turang, the Brewers have a player who's more Kyle Schwarber than anyone else. Andrew Fischer blasted his 47th home run of the Minor League season on Thursday, the most by a player since the turn of the century. However, his strikeout rate makes him an atypical Brewer.
His 47th home run passed Ryan Howard's 46 Minor League home runs in 2004 with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. Fischer is the first player to reach the 47 home run mark in a Minor League season since Tony Solaita in 1968.
Fischer's historic season is not over yet, as the Brewers' Double-A affiliate, the Biloxi Shuckers, still have four regular-season games left.

Former Tennessee baseball star Andrew Fischer made history on Sept. 10, crushing his 47th home run of the season to break Ryan Howard's record for the most by a minor leaguer this century.
Fischer passed Howard, who hit 46 homers in 2004, with a solo shot to right field for the Biloxi Shuckers, the Milwaukee Brewers' Double-A affiliate. Fischer is the Brewers' No. 5 prospect and is hitting .272 with 113 RBIs between High-A and Double-A in 2026.
Fischer, a corner infielder, has hit the fifth-most home runs in a minor league season dating back to 1963, when the modern era began. He is eight home runs behind the all-time record of 55 home runs in a single season, set by Bill McNulty in 1974 with Triple-A Sacramento. That season, Sacramento played at Hughes Stadium at Sacramento City College, which had a left-field wall only 233 feet away from home plate.
The most recent player to hit 50 home runs in a minor league season was Ron Kittle in 1982 with Triple-A Edmonton. Biloxi only has three regular season games left for Fischer to reach that mark.
Fischer has been on a tear since being called up to Double-A. His latest home run was his 27th in 69 games with the Shuckers — a 54-homer pace for a full 138-game Double-A season. He finished with the seventh-most homers in High-A (20) despite not having played there since June 13.

Blake Burke was preparing to board a plane when he saw Andrew Fischer had been drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Burke was the organization’s first-round pick the year prior and was heading home for the 2025 All-Star break when he saw the news. He knew exactly what the Brewers were getting in Fischer, who was coming off an All-America season at Tennessee. Burke, after all, was synonymous with the program’s rise to the top of college baseball as a centerpiece of the Vols’ 2024 national championship team.
While the two didn’t overlap at Tennessee – Fischer only played one season with the Vols – they knew each other from when Burke came back to train in the offseason. Burke reached out to offer his congratulations.
“He big-leagued me the first time I called him,” Burke said. “Didn’t get a text or a call back for a few days, but that’s all right. Getting him in the organization was pretty exciting because I didn’t get to play with him.”
The two are now not only playing together, but this week are doing so back in Knoxville with the Biloxi Shuckers, the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, for a six-game series against the Smokies at Covenant Health Park.
