Miller started his career with LSU Eunice JC before he transferred to Texas-San Antonio for the 2021 season. He split time as a starter and reliever initially before transitioning to a bullpen-only role, and blossomed into one of the best closers in the country during his 2023 senior season. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound righthander posted a 2.30 ERA over 27 appearances and 70.1 innings and was among the nation’s leaders in saves while striking out 27.3% of batters and walking a career-low 6.1%. Like many elite college closers, Miller relies heavily on breaking stuff and throws a hard, mid-to-upper-80s slider more than 50% of the time. The pitch is hard with solid downward tilt and paired nicely with a fastball that averaged 90 mph, but has been up to 97, with solid carry and around 17 inches of induced vertical break. He generated a 32% miss rate with his fastball—an elite rate.
