Philosophy:

"My advice to young players is to be consistent with your work. The players that continue to play the game are always the players that never miss an opportunity. They never miss a lift. They never miss fieldwork. And they never make excuses. It sounds simple, but it's really difficult to keep that up over years at a time. If you keep that up, you will always get better." (shstalon.com, 14 Apr 2021)

In 2016 he was named Liberty League Player and Pitcher of the Year in the United States of America. (dailygazette.com, 19 Feb 2017)

General Interest

General
CLUB JOURNEY
He was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 30th round, 912th overall pick, of the 2016 MLB Draft. He spent the next three years playing for the Blue Jays' minor league affiliates, reaching Double-A level in 2019. In 2021, after being assigned to the Miami Marlins, he began playing for the Marlins' Triple-A level affiliate Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.

REPRESENTING ISRAEL
He is Jewish and was spotted by Israel manager Jerry Weinstein, who coached Fishman when he played for the Cape Cod League's Wareham Gateman, in 2016. "He [Weinstein] had a chance to see me over the summer [in 2016]. He brought it up to me [representing Israel]. Obviously, it was something that I wanted to do. He liked me, and liked what I can do, so he got me on the team." Weinstein said he was attracted to Fishman's pitching. "He [Fishman] has a funky delivery, kind of a start-and-stop delivery," Weinstein said. "It's a little bit different. He's so different, in the best sense, in the way his delivery is. It's so different than the traditional delivery in that hitters don't get to see that. So when you bring a guy like that in, it's a significant contrast." (dailygazette.com, 19 Feb 2017)

Milestones

In 2016 he became the first player out of Union College in New York, United States of America, to be drafted by an MLB team. (libertyleagueathletics.com, 21 May 2020; Union College Facebook page, 11 Jun 2016)
