Professional career

The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Miller in the first round, with the 29th overall pick, in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft. [10] He signed with the Dodgers for a $2.2 million signing bonus. [11] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the pandemic. [12]

Miller made his professional debut as the starting pitcher on Opening Day in 2021 for the Great Lakes Loons of the High-A Central, striking out five batters over three innings while allowing only two singles and a walk. [13] On July 24, Miller pitched five innings of a combined no-hitter against the Lake County Captains alongside Clayton Beeter, Jake Cantleberry, and Cameron Gibbens. [14] Miller appeared in 14 games (11 starts) for the Loons, compiling a 2–2 record and 3.06 ERA while striking out 56 over 46 innings. [15] On September 8, he was promoted to the Tulsa Drillers of the Double-A Central, [16] and pitched 9+1⁄3 innings for them to end the season. [15] He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Glendale Desert Dogs after the season where he was named to the Fall Stars Game. [17] [18] He returned to Tulsa to begin the 2022 season, where he made 19 starts and went 6–6 with a 4.45 ERA and 117 strikeouts over 91 innings [15] and was selected to represent the Dodgers at the 2022 All-Star Futures Game. [19] Miller was promoted to the Oklahoma City Dodgers of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League on August 15. [20] He made four starts for Oklahoma City, with a 1–1 record and 3.38 ERA. [15]

Miller reported to spring training with a sore shoulder in 2023, leading to him missing the Cactus League schedule and getting a late start on the season, not joining Oklahoma City until the end of April. [21] After his fourth AAA start of the season, Miller had his contract purchased by Los Angeles and was called up to the majors to start against the Atlanta Braves on May 23. [22] In his debut, he picked up the win while allowing one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts. His first MLB strikeout was against Sam Hilliard. [23] [24] He remained in the starting rotation the rest of the season, making 22 starts, with a 11–4 record, 3.76 ERA and 119 strikeouts. [25] Miller started the second game of the 2023 National League Division Series but struggled with his command, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in only 1+2⁄3 innings. [26]
