Comments
7.23.14 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-handed pitcher impressed with the top peak fastball velocity at this year’s Class of 2016 Open Showcase at 87mph. Fastball sat 84-86 mph from short, quick, over the top arm action. Hands break high, with some choppiness in delivery due to toe flick/kick at balance point. Stride is shorter for size, but fastball is thrown aggressively. 62-64 mph breaking ball shows occasional 12/6 shape but lacks consistency. 69-72 mph changeup was straight. Mechanically, Miller lacks refinement, but his frame and fastball velocity can’t be ignored. It’ll be interesting to follow his progress over the next two years.
