PBR OK OSSAA Player of the Week: Week Two


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

With multiple players having standout weeks during their Spring Break, it was Noble's Colin Fisher that had the type of numbers to put him over the edge of the others and earn Player of the Week honors.  Fisher was able to impact the game on both sides of the ball with 5 innings pitched where he allowed zero earned runs, allowed only three hits, and picked up 12 strikeouts.  Offensively is where he truly shined going 8-14 on the week with 9 RBI, 2 homers, 2 doubles, and a triple.  The Arkansas commit is off to a hot start to the year and will look to continue to lead the Bears as they try and make it back to the 5A State Tournament.

The 2023 1B/LHP showed his intriguing two-way potential throughout the week both with his power bat from the left side and as one of the more pitchable left handed arms in the area.  During the workout session Fisher showcased his arm strength registering 86 mph across with smooth feet and rhythm around the bag.  During the BP session Fisher reached exit velocities up to 99 mph and an event high 29.9 mph hand speed.  He put that power on display on Saturday at the plate by hitting a moon shot no-doubter home run into the parking lot with great extension with his natural uphill bat path.  Where Fisher really shines is on the mound with the clean arm action and delivery producing fastballs in the 88-90 range with good hand speed and around 2400 RPM.  Fisher also possesses a true swing and miss curveball at 75 mph with spin in the 2500’s.  Fisher’s left handed arm is one of the more projectable and consistent arms arms in the area.
