Astros outfield prospect Derek Fisher was doing OK in A-Ball. Darn good actually — hitting .305 / .386 / .510 // .896 for the Quad Cities River Bandits of the Midwest League. You don't want to keep a bat like that in A-Bal indefinitely, and neither did the Astros. So they called him up to the Lancaster JetHawks of the High-A California League.

His first game: 4-6, with a double and three homers, two of them for grand slams, for a total of 12 RBI, against real pitching and everything.



Notable (additionally notable) is that each of the three homers went to different fields. In case you're prone to prospect jealousy, MLB.com doesn't even list him as one of their top ten prospects, placing him 11th.
