Cubs Prospect Profile: Tyson Miller Off to Decent Start in 2017

When I first saw Tyson Miller pitch for the Eugene Emeralds in 2016, I was not that impressed. But I took his performance with a grain of salt considering he was shut down for a month after the end of his junior season at California Baptist. In both games I saw, he was throwing his fastball 89-91 and topping out at 93. It has to be hard to play a full season, take a month off, and then restart.

This year, however, Miller could be the breakout pitcher of the year in the Cubs organization.
