Season-ending surgery for UCLA catcher Darrell Miller Jr.
Darrell Miller Jr. cannot catch a break.
The 10th-ranked UCLA baseball team sustained a serious blow Monday, when the Bruins learned the redshirt junior catcher needs surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Baseball America reported. The projected starter from Servite High will miss the entire 2016 season.
A broken hamate bone and a previous labrum injury had largely limited Miller during his first two years in Westwood, but the son of the former major leaguer and nephew of NBA star Reggie Miller hit .257 (two home runs) with an on-base percentage of .324 and a slugging percentage of .351 with in 55 games last season.
