Scouting report
Miller moved into Louisville's rotation part way through his sophomore year. His junior season was cut short because of the pandemic but he was still widely seen, even in 2020, because he pitched in a prospect-heavy Week 1 matchup versus Ole Miss and then in an early-March duel with Wake Forest (and fellow first rounder Jared Shuster) that was attended by a huge contingent of scouting directors and crosscheckers. Miller shoved, especially in that last game against Wake Forest. He has a long, atypical arm action but he throws a starter-worthy ratio of strikes and holds his velo deep into games, reaching back for 95-97 when he needs it. That pitch has nasty, bowling ball sink. In addition to the velocity, Miller has a plus, mid-80s slider and a developing power changeup. Not all teams were comfortable with his delivery but it's not all that dissimilar from that of 2019 first rounder Ryan Jensen, and Miller has better secondary stuff, so I thought it was clear he belonged in the middle of the first round. He was still throwing hard in the Fall. I think Miller has a better chance to start than Beeter. (Pre-draft, alternate site, Fall Instructional League)
