Scouting Report

Draft

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 45 | Field: 40 | Overall: 50

Miller batted .394 in two years at Bishop State (Ala.) CC sandwiched around an MVP performance in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League, but scouts generally want juco players to prove they can hit against better competition. He has done exactly that after transferring to Alabama for his junior season, becoming one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southeastern Conference. He has bashed his way into at least the top three rounds. 

Miller consistently puts the barrel on the ball from the right side of the plate and can handle velocity as well as breaking balls, with a tendency to get fooled by changeups his lone weakness at the plate. An intelligent hitter, he controls the strike zone and understands how pitchers will try to work him. His strength and bat speed give him 20-homer potential, mostly to his pull side, and he also will lace line drives to the opposite field.

The big question with Miller is where he'll play in pro ball. He's a below-average runner with fringy arm strength who's adequate at best at third base. Evaluators debate whether he should stick at the hot corner vs. trying to make it as a Max Muncy-esque second baseman, and it's more likely he winds up at first base or in left field.

CC sandwiched around an MVP performance in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League, but scouts generally want JUCO players to prove they can hit against better competition. He did exactly that after transferring to Alabama for his junior season, slashing .381/.474/.702 and becoming one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southeastern Conference. The Marlins signed him in the third round for $800,800.

The big question with Miller is where he'll play in pro ball. He's a below-average runner with fringy arm strength who was adequate at best at third base for the Crimson Tide. Miami announced him as a second baseman when it selected him and broke him into pro ball at the keystone, though evaluators think it's more likely that he winds up at first base or in left field.
