Career

Miller attended New Braunfels High School in New Braunfels, Texas. He played college baseball at Blinn College originally. He was drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 38th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft, but did not sign and transferred to Texas A&M University to play for the Texas A&M Aggies.[1] In 2019, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2]

The Seattle Mariners selected Miller in the fourth round, 113th overall, of the 2021 Major League Baseball draft and signed.[3] He made his professional debut with the Single-A Modesto Nuts.[4] In 2022, Miller made 27 appearances (26 starts) split between Modesto, the High-A Everett AquaSox, and the Double-A Arkansas Travelers, posting a cumulative 7–4 record and 3.16 ERA with 163 strikeouts in 133.2 innings pitched.[5]

Miller began the 2023 season with Double-A Arkansas, struggling to an 0–2 record and 6.41 ERA in 4 starts to begin the year. On May 1, 2023, the Mariners announced that Miller would be promoted to the major leagues for the first time to start against the Oakland Athletics.[6] He made his debut the next day, taking a perfect game into the sixth inning with one out before giving up a single to Tony Kemp. He pitched six innings, allowing one earned run and recording ten strikeouts, a franchise record for most strikeouts in a debut.[7]
