Miaso tied Paul Konerko's career runs record at Chaparral High, thanks to hitting in a lineup that featured a pair of intriguing prospects for the 2005 draft in Ike Davis and Austin Yount, the nephew of Robin Yount. He projected as an eighth- to 10th-round pick in the 2004 draft based on talent, but a strong commitment to Arizona State caused him to slide all the way to the 42nd round. He decided to sign just before fall classes began, and debuted in instructional league. Once there, Miaso impressed the Phillies staff with his confidence and aggressiveness at the plate. He shows interesting power potential--even drawing comparisons to Konerko--but also swings and misses frequently. He runs well and possesses a strong right-field arm. Miaso's limited experience could land him in the Gulf Coast League for his debut, with Batavia a longshot.
