Adam Miller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the baseball player. For the football (soccer) player, see Adam Miller (footballer).

Adam Wain Miller (born November 26, 1984, in Plano, Texas), is a right-handed pitcher who is currently a top prospect in the Cleveland Indians organization. He started the 2008 season as a starting pitcher with the Buffalo Bisons. Miller graduated from McKinney High School in 2003.

Miller was selected by the Indians as a sandwich pick (31st overall) in the 2003 amateur player draft. After a strong campaign in 2004 with Lake County and Kinston, elbow problems in 2005 slowed down his rise through the ranks. Miller only managed 15 starts combined between Mahoning Valley and Kinston.

Miller amasses strikeouts (9.2 per game) with his 92-95 mph four-seam fastball and 84-88 mph slider (both plus pitches), and induces groundball outs with his 88-91 mph sinker.

Miller currently is a starter and reliever with the Buffalo Bisons, and was placed on the forty man roster for the Cleveland Indians in November, 2007. [1] Healthy again and rated as the organization's top prospect by Baseball America, his journey toward the big leagues has resumed in 2008.
