A 4th Round selection in the Major League Baseball Draft by the Chicago White Sox, Fisher was named All-America by six different organizations. The Lion first baseman helped Southeastern to a 40-21 record in 2016, its second straight 40-win season and the program's first at-large bid to the NCAA postseason.
Fisher led Division I with a .558 on-base percentage and ranked among the national leaders in batting average (.424, 2nd), OPS (1.250, 3rd), sacrifice flies (8, 8th), slugging percentage (.716, 11th), walks (54, 12th) and runs batted in (66, 15th). His batting average, on-base percentage and walk totals were all single-season school records, as Fisher left Hammond as the school's career record holder with a .375 batting average, a .483 on-base percentage and 15 sacrifice flies.
On the competition field, he was named the Player of the Year by both the Southland Conference and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association, earning first team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana honors. Fisher was also an excellent performer in the classroom, being named CoSIDA Academic All-America, CoSIDA Academic All-District 6 and the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for his respective sport.
Fisher, a native of Zachary, Louisiana, is the ninth baseball student-athlete to be named the Southeastern Male Athlete of the Year.
