One year and three weeks ago, Bobby Miller was at the peak of his young major league career.
After a promising rookie campaign in 2023, the hard-throwing right-hander had made the Dodgers’ 2024 opening day rotation. In his season debut, he dominated the St. Louis Cardinals with 11 strikeouts over six scoreless innings. And as a former top prospect in the organization’s pitching-rich farm system, his ascent in the big leagues seemed to be just beginning.
One year and three weeks later, he now faces a long climb back.
Called up from triple-A Oklahoma City for a spot start Wednesday, Miller’s first MLB start of 2025 mirrored the struggles that plagued him over the rest of 2024.
