2024 Fantasy Outlook
The three most fantasy-relevant aspects of Miller's profile are his off-the-charts injury risk, his truly elite stuff and his team context: great home park, horrific run support. Of pitchers who will enter spring training healthy, it would be hard to find anyone more likely to get injured during spring training than Miller. A shoulder injury limited him to 30.2 innings (including the Arizona Fall League) as a 23-year-old in 2022 - his first full pro season. A UCL sprain limited him to 52.2 innings in 2023, and he has only topped 60 innings twice dating back to college, logging 67.2 innings in 2019 and 98.2 innings in 2021, in part because of a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The fact he can touch 102 mph with his fastball only adds to the injury risk. He threw five-plus innings in three of his 17 appearances last year, and he didn't throw more than three innings in any of his 11 post-injury appearances. As scary as his durability track record is, his stuff is equally scary for opposing batters. In addition to his 80-grade fastball, he throws a mid-90s cutter, an upper-80s slider and a low-90s changeup. There are reports that the 25-year-old flamethrower could be used as a high-leverage reliever this year due to his durability issues, but this team is arguably the worst in baseball for pitcher wins and saves. Read Past Outlooks
Fans side for fifth save
Miller tossed a clean ninth inning, striking out all three batters he faced to pick up his fifth save during Monday's 2-0 win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Miller needed just 14 pitches to strike out the side and finish off the listless Yankees. The game was scoreless through eight, but a Zack Gelof two-run homer gave the A's the lead in the top of the ninth, allowing Miller the opportunity to close out his fifth save. All five saves have come in Miller's last five appearances as he's put a stranglehold on the ninth-inning role for Oakland. The effort dropped his ERA to 1.80 and his WHIP to 1.00 while lifting his strikeout rate to 18.0 K/9.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Miller touched triple digits in spring training 2022, but a subsequent shoulder strain sidelined him for the first five months of the season. The 6-foot-5 righty got healthy in time to generate buzz after returning (25:3 K:BB in 14 innings at the complex, High-A and Triple-A) and in the Arizona Fall League (20:4 K:BB in 16.2 innings). He now touches 102 mph with the heater while sitting in the upper-90s. Miller's slider, cutter and changeup (in that order) all show promise, so it's mostly a matter of him proving he can handle a starter's workload. The third-round pick from 2021 turns 25 in August and has logged 36.2 innings in pro ball (including the AFL). This season will be about building up his innings while refining his secondaries in the upper levels of the minors.
