The Spring Breakout matchup between the farm system of the Detroit Tigers and the Atlanta Braves provided a good look at our 31st ranked prospect. Left-hander Jake Miller had a minor breakout of his own in 2024, pitching across three levels. On Sunday, he got the start and showed improved fastball velocity, striking out three without a walk while allowing one run in two innings of work.
Miller was drafted in the eighth round back in the 2022 draft out of Valparaiso. At the time he’d racked up plenty of strikeouts but with poor overall results in the Missouri Valley Conference.
