Andrew Fischer completed the trifecta of first-round picks off Tennessee‘s 2025 roster. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Fischer as a 3rd baseman with the No. 20 overall pick.
Liam Doyle and Gavin Kilen were the first 2 Vols taken on Sunday night. Tony Vitello also saw multiple signees go in Round 1.
Fischer gives the Brew Crew an impact bat that’s likely to contribute at the big-league level sooner rather than later.
The Brewers have taken 3B Andrew Fischer with the 20th overall pick in the MLB Draft. Fiery personality, excellent swing decisions and hit 25 for homers for Tennessee this year.
