Jameson Fisher (born February 6, 1995) is an American former professional baseball outfielder.
Amateur career
Fisher attended Zachary High School in Zachary, Louisiana.[1] He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 24th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft, but declined to sign a minor league contract and instead attended Southeastern Louisiana University where he played college baseball.[2]
He began college baseball playing catcher and first baseman. After tearing the labrum in his right shoulder, he underwent surgery and missed the 2015 season. In the following season as a senior, Fisher led the NCAA in hitting with a .424 batting average, 11 home runs, and 66 RBIs. He also scored 49 runs and stole 15 bases. Over his college career, Fisher had a batting average of .375 with 14 homers and 132 RBIs, stealing 32 stolen bases.[3] In 2014, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[4]
Professional career
Fisher was drafted in the fourth round with the 116th overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft by the Chicago White Sox.[5] Fisher spent the 2016 season in rookie-level baseball with the Great Falls Voyagers of the Pioneer League, finishing with a .342 batting average, four home runs and 25 RBIs over 187 at-bats. He was promoted to the Kannapolis Intimidators of the Single–A South Atlantic League to start the 2017 season. There he played 60 games before being promoted to the Winston-Salem Dash of the High-A Carolina League, where he finished the 2017 season.[6] During the year, he posted a combined .245 batting average with a .342 on-base percentage and a .402 slugging percentage.
In 2018, Fisher spent the year with the Double–A Birmingham Barons, playing in 97 games and hitting .216/.321/.321 with 6 home runs and 24 RBI.[7] He returned to Winston-Salem in 2019, appearing in a career–high 127 games and batting .242/.343/.375 with 9 home runs, 44 RBI, and 7 stolen bases.[8] Fisher did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
Fisher returned to action in 2021 with Double–A Birmingham. In 88 games for the Barons, he batted .287/.359/.463 with a career–high 12 home runs and 47 RBI.[10] In 2022, he played in 14 games for the Triple–A Charlotte Knights, struggling to a .149/.245/.192 batting line with no home runs and 5 RBI. On May 19, 2022, Fisher was released by the White Sox organization.[11]
In September 2022, Fisher retired from professional baseball and joined Marucci as a lead lab technician and master bat fitter.[12]
