From 2003 to 2017, Fisher primarily worked in the front office of the New York Mets in multiple roles.

While manager of Baseball Operations a few years later, Fisher oversaw the Mets' analytics efforts and was an early supporter of many data companies that have become industry leaders, including TrackMan, Kinatrax and TruMedia. He also worked on numerous personnel moves that established the foundation of the Mets’ 2015 World Series team, including the free agent signing of Curtis Granderson and the trading of Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays, which brought back Noah Syndergaard and Travis d’Arnaud. Additionally, as Director of Baseball Operations in 2015, he managed the advance scouting efforts of the World Series team, working closely with the coaching staff. Fisher left professional baseball in 2017 after a stint as assistant general manager of the Atlanta Braves.
