Coaches

Brian Fisher

Founder, RTG Baseball Academy

Coach Fish graduated from Klein HS in 2007 and went on to play at Oklahoma City University. At OCU his teams went 57-12, 53-9, 50-16, 47-12, and 48-12, totaling 255-61 for his career and were always ranked in the top 5 in the country, with many holds at number 1. They went to the NAIA World Series every year he was there, so he holds the record for most world series appearances in school history. He was a 2-time Conference Gold Glove winner, earned first-team All-Conference accolades at second base, and was named on the All-tournament team in the world series. He was also a 2-time Academic All-American. His sophomore year he hit .396 in 202 at bats with 11 home runs and a .457 on base percentage. Coach Fish started coaching for fun in 2012, while working for the Houston Astros front office. As his passion for coaching grew, so did the amount of players he was surrounded by. He felt he needed to be on the field mentoring and coaching young players, so he opened up RTG (Respect the Game) in the fall of 2014. Fish has always tried to donate his time and give back to the game which started by taking on a role at Northland Christian HS from 2016-2019 as the assistant varsity head coach where he helped build the program and win the 2019 Tapps division 3 state championship. In 2019, he was then hired on at the University of St. Thomas as the director of player development where he helped build the new college program. When starting his coaching career, he also helped run the Klein middle school prep teams and was an associate scout for the Astros. Fish’s mentor and college coach Keith Lytle at OCU always taught his players that if you want to be professional, you have to act professional. That has always been his goal for RTG and now Prospect United. He wants their players to be great young men who are held accountable every day. When Derek Jeter retired, they asked him what his main goal was over his 20 year career. He said, “All I ever wanted to do was RESPECT THE GAME”. When Fish heard this, along with his teaching from the OCU coaches, he knew the RTG name had to be born. In 2018, Fish met Jim Parque who pitched in the big leagues for 7 season with the White Sox. Together they took and still take around 500 players and families each August to the Dominican Republic to play in the Latin American Baseball Classic representing the USA. There they formed the Prospect United name that remains a national name officially outfitted by Under Armour. Fish currently lives in the Houston area, is married to Christie Fisher and has a 2 year old son, Beckham.

Eric Fisher

Strength and Conditioning Coordinator, First Base/ Outfield/ Hitting Coach

Eric is Brian’s younger and much bigger brother who was a part of the Klein 2010 team that made it to the Houston 5A State Championship at Dell Diamond Stadium. He took his talents to the SEC where he joined the Arkansas Razorbacks for the next four years of his college career. In 2014, he was third in the SEC in home runs, earned second team ALL-SEC honors at first base, and was named to the All-Defensive Team. At the end of his season, he was drafted in the 17th round by the Miami Marlins. During his career with the Marlins, he played first base and left field. Eric has always had a passion for working out and in the summer of 2019, he opened up his own sports performance gym he named FCS (Faith, Commitment, Strength). A number of our athletes work out at FCS and have had huge success in getting stronger and faster. Eric lives in the Woodlands area, is married to Sarah Fisher and has a 2 year old son Jace and 1 year old daughter, Hallie.

David Fisher “Papa Fish”

Coaches Everything

Papa Fish has been coaching baseball for the past 25 years. He has coached players at all levels; tee-Ball to college and professional players. Many of the players he coached went on to play high school, college and professional baseball. His playing experience started in Pennsylvania where he played 4 years of varsity baseball in high school and earned All-Area honors and MVP both his Junior and Senior year. Papa Fish knew if he wanted the highest next level of the game, he had to go south. He earned a scholarship first at Westark Community College in Fort Smith, AR., where he changed his position from SS to catcher/first base. Papa Fish helped his team advance to Junior College Regional Playoffs both years, hitting over .350 and being a solid backstop behind the plate. He went on to earn a full scholarship at Pan American University, in Edinburg, TX where his 1983 Broncs team holds a school record of 64-19-1 advancing to the regional playoffs and facing former MLB stars like Roger Clemens, Will Clark and Rafael Palmero. In 2016, he was inducted into the Pan American Hall of Fame. After several tryouts with the Dodgers, Reds and Phillies, his baseball dream ended only to start again coaching his 2 sons. In 2017, he retired from his corporate job and moved to China to open the first D-BAT franchise and teach baseball. He spent 5 years in China, opening D-BAT franchises, hiring the American coaches, training and writing baseball curriculum for ages 3- to 16-year-olds. In addition to coaching 9U and 12U team’s at Prospect U, Papa Fish runs the D-BAT in the Woodlands. Papa Fish’s baseball knowledge is second to none and is happy to be back in the states helping his two sons on the baseball field. Baseball isn’t just a game. It teaches life lessons, respect, discipline, teamwork, responsibility and how to overcome failure. Nothing makes him happier than being on a baseball field teaching the game he loves!
