Prince Semien Fielder (b. May 18, 1984, in Ontario, California) is a first baseman whom the Milwaukee Brewers selected in the first round of the 2002 amateur draft. Fielder, son of former player Cecil Fielder, began the 2005 season with the Nashville Sounds and has also served as a designated hitter for the Brewers during interleague play. Prince Fielder was called up to the Majors on June 13, 2005, but he returned to the minors after the end of interleague play, since Lyle Overbay already played first base for the team.

Prince Fielder was called up to the Majors again on August 17, 2005. During his current stay with the Milwaukee Brewers Fielder has delivered, hitting a game-winning walk-off home run on August 31st.

Fielder was married to his wife Chanel during Triple A All-Star Break in the summer of 2005 and has a son with Chanel named Jaden.

Fielder was once the spokesperson along with his father for the McDonalds triple cheeseburger.

When his father Cecil played for Detroit, Prince would come along for batting practice occasionally. One time, at the ripe old age of 12, he launched a home run into the upper deck of Tiger Stadium.

After Lyle Overbay was dealt with minor league pitcher Ty Taubenheim to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for outfielder Gabe Gross and pitchers Dave Bush and Zach Jackson, Prince Fielder is projected to be the starting first baseman for the Brewers in 2006 and is an early favorite for National League Rookie of the Year.
