Most baseball fans in New Jersey are tuned into the Yankees, Mets or Phillies.

But there is a reason to keep an eye on a minor league ballpark in Biloxi, Mississippi.

That's where 22-year-old Andrew Fischer from Brick Township and a graduate of Wall High School put together an impressive season.

Fischer hit 48 home runs this summer, the most by any minor league player since 2000.

Fischer is ranked as the No. 5 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, and his breakout season may be the one that launches him into the major leagues next year.
