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
IND:  5-4-0, 5.71 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, 69.1 IP, 4.9 BB/9, 11.2 K/9

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
R:  1-0-0, 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP, 1.2 IP, 0.0 BB/9, 21.6 K/9
A:  2-1-1, 3.18 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 22.2 IP, 4.4 BB/9, 9.5 K/9
A+:  2-0-0, 2.70 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 10.0 IP, 4.5 BB/9, 9.9 K/9

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.
