Andrew Fischer sets minor league home run record since 2000

Summary

Milwaukee Brewers prospect Andrew Fischer hit his 47th home run of the season on September 10, setting a new record for the most home runs by a minor leaguer in this century. Playing for the Double-A Biloxi Shuckers, the corner infielder surpassed the previous mark of 46 set by Ryan Howard in 2004. Fischer arrived at Double-A after hitting 20 home runs for his High-A affiliate earlier this season. He now sits fifth on the all-time minor league single-season home run list since 1963. With three regular-season games remaining, he looks to reach the 50-homer milestone. Fischer, a former Tennessee standout, was the 20th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
