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
R:  375/667/375, 8 AB, 3 BB, 4 K, 2-2 SB

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.
