Cal
Fisher

Fisher, a Notre Dame recruit, was nothing short of sensational throughout the week, and walked away with MVP honors at the event. Noticeably stronger, but still showcasing the same athleticism, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound infielder looked his usual self defensively, making every play look easy no matter what spot he patrolled. However, it was the bat that ticked up in this look, and he confidently went 7-for-13 with multiple extra base hits including a home run. He possesses quick hands with a flat path that includes the ability to utilize the whole field. His energy on the diamond was infectious all week.

Fisher’s status as a top prospect in the Midwest’s 2023 class is well documented, and he flashed those skills throughout the weekend with his GRB Rays squad. Fisher jumped all over a firm upper-80s fastball for an opposite field triple on Saturday, flying around the base paths in the process. He’s a savvy, sure-handed defender on the infield dirt that’ll stick up the middle in the long run, too. Fisher is currently the third-highest ranked prospect in Wisconsin’s incoming senior group and he’s committed to Notre Dame.
