READING, Pa. — As Aidan Miller arrived at his third minor-league level in five months, the promising young infielder acknowledged the faith his organization has shown in him.
Last July, Miller was a high school shortstop from J.W. Mitchell High School in Trinity, Fla., selected by the Philadelphia Phillies with the No. 27 pick in the Major League Baseball Draft. On Tuesday, he set foot in the upper minor leagues as the Phillies placed him in Double-A Reading to close out the 2024 season.
“They’ve pushed me pretty heavily,” Miller said on the field before his first game at Class AA.
