Miller teamed with Carson Lambert to give Newbury Park one of the top rotations in Southern California this spring. He went 5-3, 2.43 as the Panthers' top starter with 62 strikeouts in 54.2 innings, including a solid showing opposite Nick Nastrini at the Boras Classic. Miller sits 88-90 mph and touches 92 out of his sturdy 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame and holds his velocity late in games. He shows feel to spin both a 77-80 mph slider and 70-72 mph curveball, and his 78-80 mph changeup generates swings and misses. Miller's control can be scattered but is slowly improving. He's a good athlete who played shortstop and hit .384 when he wasn't pitching. Miller's not-quite-ready velocity and unrefined control means he likely ends up honoring his commitment to San Diego, but a few teams are interested.
