WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
Fishback played a year at a community college, then three as a starter at New Mexico State. He put up big hitting numbers, including power, while there. He had a line of 365/417/564 in his junior year and 307/403/500 in his senior year. His team played in a high offense environment, though, putting up a composite line of 310/409/478 in 2018. The Pirates signed him as a non-drafted free agent at the end of July 2018. They probably needed catching help due to lower level injuries.
2018 Fishback got into seven games, including five starts behind the plate. The Pirates will probably use Fishback as an organizational catcher at the lower levels. |
