The Book on Adam Miller
Prospect Info
Adam Miller
Born 11/26/1984
RHP, CLE
Miller, formerly known as 'Mr. 101' stemming from a late-season velocity reading before an arm injury in 2004, has dialed down his fastball since his teenage years, but still hits the mid nineties, working his two-seam fastball down, down, and down in the zone. His slider is one of the best in the minors, while his change is also above average.
He's fought injuries over the past three seasons now, including multiple injuries to the index finger of his pitching hand (a rather important finger, that) but none of them have been serious enough to be worth forgetting about the young righthander. In an attempt to preserve his health and get the most value from his serious heat, the Indians will be trying him as a reliever in 2010, and in that role he could flourish, with the potential to be a top-flight setup man or premium closer.
