While it is not at the big-league level, Miller has, for a couple years now, filled something of an ace-like role for the Helena Senators. The super senior backed up a sub-3.00 ERA a season ago with a 3.51 mark for Miles City Community College and averaged nearly 13 strikeouts per game in 33.1 innings.
In just 15.2 innings for the Senators this season, the southpaw has already racked up 23 punch outs and has pitched to a 2.23 ERA since returning to Helena.
“He has great stuff, swing-and-miss stuff...I would like to see him throw a few more strikes so he can go deeper in the game, but that’s kinda what we’ve seen the last couple of years,” Senators head coach Jon Burnett said. “He throws a lot of pitches and gets a lot of strikeouts. Hopefully we can tune that up a little bit here and get a higher percentage of strikes.”
