Track Record: After spending his first two years at a junior college, Miller transferred to Alabama for his junior year in 2023 and parlayed a monster season into a third-round selection. He then went to pro ball, where he struggled to hit for power in a 26-game sample.
Scouting Report: Miller’s value resides in his bat. He showed strong contact rates in college, and despite not hitting for much power in pro ball, continued to make contact. However, he will need that college power to show itself with a wood bat. He has a smaller-medium frame, and evaluators are split on his long-term power production. Of some concern, he chased pitches at an alarming rate in his pro debut. Miller does not have a clear home in the field. His below-average arm is too light for third base, while his range and athleticism are too short for second base. His hands are hard for either position and he is a below-average receiver of the baseball. He also possesses below-average foot speed.
The Future: Miller is a bit tough to project. He has the chance to be a plus hitter, and his gaudy performance in the SEC puts him in some elite company. However, his track record of performance is pretty short, and the floor falls out if the power or plate discipline do not materialize. He will likely start 2025 back in High-A Beloit, where he will look to reclaim his power stroke.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 40 | Field: 40 | Arm: 40.
