As a Top 5 prospect in the Astros farm system, Derek Fisher’s time in Fresno may be short lived. The outfielder hits for average, hits for power and has speed on the basepaths.

Recently, he spoke with GV Wire about his path from Lebanon, PA to Fresno and hopefully to Houston. While the 2014 first round draft pick out of the University of Virginia has yet to see the big leagues, that could be coming very soon.

In the interview he also talked about the art of hitting, and does he get confused with that other Derek Fisher? Watch above.
