David Fletcher Parents: Meet Tim Fletcher and Fernanda Fletcher

David Owen Fletcher is an American professional baseball infielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is the son of Tim Fletcher and Fernanda Fletcher.

His father Tim Fletcher is a former Saddleback College football player, construction worker, and war veteran and his mother Fernanda Fletcher is  a professional dancer. His father, Tim, died unexpectedly on June 12 2023. He was 60.

Fletcher showed an early interest in baseball, participating in soft toss with Angels infielder Gary DiSarcina at a fan appreciation event at the age of four. Fletcher began training with Stan Grebeck, a baseball coach and brother of former major leaguer Craig Grebeck, when he was 13 years old.

The Angels selected him in the sixth round of the 2015 Major League Baseball drafts. He made his MLB debut in 2018 and spent his first three seasons as a utility player before becoming a more permanent middle infielder in 2021.

Fletcher, regarded as a contact hitter, has typically batted first in front of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Fletcher led the Angels in hits in each of his first three full seasons. In 2021, his 26-game hitting streak was the most in MLB that year and the second-longest in Angels history, trailing only Rod Carew’s 25 and Garret Anderson’s 28.
