Miller is a buy — elite skill, no luck, and the velocity is climbing.

His expected ERA is 2.27, nearly two runs below the league average of 4.10, and he has faced enough batters for that number to be reliable. He gives up hard contact only 28.4% of the time, well below the league rate of 40.0%, and his xwOBA allowed is .236 against a .315 league average — elite suppression. His strikeout rate is 30.2%, his walk rate is just 4.2%, and his swinging-strike rate sits at 16.4%, all well above average. The fastball is clocking 96.3 mph and has been gaining velocity over the sample. There is no luck story here: his actual ERA tracks his xERA, and his BABIP-against is near league average. The skill is real, stable, and getting better. Buy. 40 K with a 2.27 ERA and 1.01 WHIP — a true asset you want on your staff.
