Billy Miller, 2028, SS/RHP, Kouts: Fresh out of basketball season, I got a decent look on Miller in total who we have ranked as the top two-way in the class currently. He is wiry and athletic at 6-foot-1, 165-pounds with thinner hips and some room to pack on strength. Outside of a leadoff triple that turned into his only earned run, he was excellent on the mound, turning in a final line of: 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K's, and 70-plus % strikes. Pitching in near-frigid temps, Miller got to 86-88 with easier effort and will likely tick into the low-90s this summer. His breaking ball is more slurvey at 72-74 and flashed tighter break; showed feel to land and was able to induce chase after setting it up with fastball strikes down in the zone. Showed a 70 mph change, as well. The control, athleticism, and where I project the stuff to get to is what I like best with Billy. It was not his best offensive showing as he left with an off-time hit and a deeper L7, but I expect the bat to get back up to speed as he gets more reps this spring. I leave with a similiar feeling that I've had on him to this point - he is a high-floor prospect on both sides of the ball that I expect to be an early recruit.
