Miller’s Hot Start

Gage Miller has begun his professional career playing for the Jupiter Hammerheads, the Class A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, who selected him 92nd overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. As of Sunday, Miller has appeared in 7 games and is batting .375 with a .485 OBP. He has 33 plate appearances that have produced 9 hits, 2 doubles, 6 walks, 6 runs, and 4 RBI. If he continues with this level of production, Miller may only spend a short time at the Low-A level before getting an opportunity to prove himself playing for the High-A Beloit Sky Carp. When this happens, one lucky reader will get a piece of Sky Carp merch. (published 8/12 @ 5:00 am)
