Miller’s fastball is among the fastest in MLB history. Nearly half of his 1,024 pitches in 2024 registered 100 mph or more, trailing only Jordan Hicks and Aroldis Chapman in single-season triple-digit pitch totals since tracking began. His fastest pitch clocked at 103.8 mph. Miller’s strikeout rate (14.40 K/9) led all MLB pitchers with at least 40 innings. First batters faced against Miller hit just .059 with a .127 on-base percentage, both the lowest in Oakland history.
His dominance earned him a spot on the American League All-Star team and recognition as The Sporting News AL Rookie of the Year. He was named second-team All-MLB, placed fourth in BBWAA AL Rookie of the Year voting, and was selected for the Baseball America and Baseball Digest All-Rookie teams.
In July 2025, Miller and JP Sears were traded from Oakland to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Henry Baez, Leo De Vries, Braden Nett, and Eduarniel Núñez. Now wearing #22 for the Padres, Miller continues to be a key presence in the bullpen. Over his career, Miller has accumulated 246 strikeouts and maintained a sub-3.00 ERA, though he has yet to win a World Series. His advanced metrics and velocity make him a foundational piece for San Diego’s bullpen as they pursue contention in the National League West.
