Scouting Report

Assets
  • Miller is a strong defensive catcher -- especially when it comes to blocking tough pitches in the dirt. He's steady enough at the plate, with occasional power.
Flaws
  • Strikeouts tend to come in bunches, making him a very streaky hitter. He must take a more relaxed approach with runners on base.
Career Potential
  • Age has dropped him to strong-backup-catcher status.
