Michael's bio: (AMS 2nd team - 2002) (2002 All-Region, .370 BA, 10 2B, 20 RBI) (TSWA All-State 2002) (Twitty City) (2003 Haury & Smith) (2003 Perfect Game National Showcase) {(#3)BA-top 10} {National BA-PPlus #91/400} (Perfect Game Sunshine East - PG Rating 10 - Michael is an athlete. He is not only a talented baseball player but also a football star and its easy to see why. He has a strong athletic build and he can run. He hits from both sides of plate with good bat speed. His actions are good and he makes the game look very easy. He has great instincts! He could end up being one of the top 2004's in the country. Fisher is the real deal, not much he doesn't do very well on a baseball field.) (TeamOne - Fisher earned MVP honors in leading his team to the D-II state championship game as a junior. He has a brother who plays tennis for LSU.)

10/27/03 - Fisher, a 6-2, 190-pound switch-hitting shortstop and centerfielder who quarterbacks the Big Red, selected the Yellow Jackets over Vanderbilt, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina and Xavier (Ohio). Fisher was rated a 10 (“Potential very high draft pick, Top DI in the nation prospect”) by Perfect Game USA after a stellar summer during which Fisher lit up the wood-bat Perfect Game national camp in Lincoln, Neb. That performance put thoughts of college football out of his mind.“I love both sports. I just had to find out which one I could go farther in,” said Fisher. “Playing with wooden bats, that changed everything.” Both of Fisher’s parents attended Vanderbilt — his father, Fred, was a quarterback there in the early 1970s — but a longtime association with Georgia Tech assistant coach Scott Stricklin helped formulate Fisher’s decision. When Fisher, then in the sixth grade, worked with former Vandy assistant John Barlowe, Stricklin, another assistant under head coach Roy Mewbourne, would needle Fisher about how much he stunk. Now Stricklin is “saddled” with one of the best prospects in the country. “It was the hardest decision for me between Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech,” said Michael, who hit .378 with a home run and 15 RBI for MBA last season. “Basically it came down to whether I wanted to stay home or get away. I felt comfortable in Atlanta.” “I told him you’re not obligated to stay in town and do what Barbara [Michael’s mother] and I did at Vandy,” said Fred, who has another son, Bryan, playing tennis at LSU. MBA baseball coach Thomas Wims called Fisher the anchor of his infield. “Michael has always had the athletic talent and has always been a very good baseball player,” Wims said. “As a switch-hitter, he really poses a problem for opposing pitchers.”

11/17/03 - Rated the No. 3 high school prospect in Tennessee and the No. 91 prospect in the nation, Michael Fisher is an all-state selection as a shortstop in baseball and a quarterback in football. A four-year starter on the diamond, the 6-2, 190-pound Fisher hit .378 for Montgomery Bell Academy in 2003, while he is also considered the top high school quarterback in Tennessee. The switch-hitter hit .489 with his summer team in the Greater Nashville Baseball Association in 2003. "Michael Fisher is one of those extraordinary athletes," said Hall. "He's the quarterback on his high school football team. He's a switch-hitting shortstop, but he has never really devoted himself totally to baseball. It's exciting for me to know that when we get him for full-time baseball, he has a tremendous upside."
