Miller showed off one of the most powerful arms in the Southern League. His fastball regularly clocked in at north of 100 mph. Miller snuck up on people because he lost two years of development when he went on a two-year Mormon mission after his freshman year at Brigham Young, and he already was 23 when Arizona picked him in the 20th round in 2013. He's not a big guy, but Miller's athleticism gives him such easy velocity, and he closed games at Mobile during the first half of the 2015 season. His fastball was regularly clocked in the high 90s and touched as high as 101, and he complements his top-of-the-scale heater with a high-80s slider that's a plus pitch when he commands it. Miller's lack of a third pitch and inconsistent command consigned him to the bullpen. He needs to improve his control-he walked 4.5 batters per nine innings at Mobile. Miller will be ready for Triple-A Reno in 2016.
