Athletic Excellence

At the time of his selection, 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior designated hitter and right-handed pitcher compiled a 6-0 record on the mound with one save, a 0.35 ERA and 94 strikeouts, issuing just six walks in 40 innings, leading the Lions (25-5) to a berth in the Division III regional semifinals. The state’s No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2022 as ranked by Perfect Game and the nation’s No. 24 recruit by the Prep Baseball Report, Miller held opposing hitters to a .096 batting average and 78.3 percent of the outs he recorded via strikeouts this spring. He is rated by Baseball America as the nation’s No. 13 high school prospect in the upcoming July MLB Draft.
