		<description><![CDATA[Baseball Factory/Team One Baseball

7th ranked in 2009 class

Miller is another strong RHP from Texas with a prototypical body for the mound. His primary weapon is his heavy fastball with late sink that usually sits between 91 and 94 mph. He has shown flashes of a quality 3/4 tilt breaking ball with depth and is developing a change as a third pitch. The bottom line is that if he can command his lively fastball he can get outs at any level.

		<description><![CDATA[yeah, would you rather invest $4+ million in a potential front of the rotatioin pitcher, or spend that $4+ million on, say, 7-8 low ceiling arms that at best may become middle relievers?

i&#039;ll take the high upside arm, thank you very much]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PGCrosschecker profile:

12th ranked prospect
SCOUTING PROFILE (3/1): Miller was a relative late comer to the national prospect scene but he&#039;s quickly made up for lost time, and many now consider him the top righthanded pitching prospect in the 2009 high-school class. Miller&#039;s fastball is in the 91-94 mph range, and he generates his arm strength from a compact power-pitcher&#039;s arm action and easy, balanced delivery. His mid-70s curveball has a big, sharp break and is a potential plus pitch, as well, and Miller&#039;s low-80s changeup also shows excellent potential, considering how infrequently he needs to use it. Miller has been a dominant pitcher in high-school ball, winning 10 games and striking out 127 hitters as a sophomore and throwing three consecutive no-hitters at one point in his junior season, one a 14-strikeout perfect game. He also played third base when he didn&#039;t pitch, and hit .413-9-32. Miller was also a top football player, earning second-team all-state honors as a punter (42.5 average) as a junior while playing wide receiver and linebacker.--DAVID RAWNSLEY

UPDATE (5/15): Miller has solidified his status as a likely first-round pick but not in the way that many scouts would have preferred. After a slow start, Miller consistently generated 94-97 mph fastballs in every start and there are no questions about his arm strength. He did not show any consistency with his curveball, changeup or command, however, and scouts feel he was pitching more to the radar gun than to hitters. As Miller has shown an ability to throw quality breaking pitches in the past, it is not a major area of concern, especially since Miller pitched at a low level of competition during the spring and didn&#039;t need to be fine-tuned in order to dominate. It was encouraging that Miller threw a gem in the first game of the Texas district playoffs, striking out 14 while allowing only one hit and a walk.-DR
