WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
Miller pitched for Clemson in 2017-18 and West Texas A&M in 2021. He didn’t get into much action, totaling just 15.1 IP in the three seasons, all in relief. He had very high walk and K rates. The Angels drafted him in 2018 but he didn’t sign. In 2021, Miller pitched for Ogden of the now-independent Pioneer League. He throws an upper-80s to low-90s fastball, along with a curve and change. The Pirates signed him to a minor league deal for 2022.
2021 Miller started 13 games for Ogden and got into another ten in relief. The numbers weren’t as alarming as they look; the league had a 6.98 ERA. 2022 Miller saw time with the three lowest-level domestic affiliates. He got good results at every level and held left-handed hitters overall to a .457 OPS. Miller will turn 26 during the 2023 season, so it’s premature to draw any conclusions about his good showing in 2022. |
