OUR Q&A

PBR: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? What were you looking for out of a college program to continue your baseball career at?

Miller: I didn’t know what to expect going into it. I knew if I played my game and kept working I would have a chance to play at the next level. What I was looking for was player development and the community support.   

PBR: Did location or distance from home play a factor in your decision?

Miller: It played a huge roll to stay close to home. I only looked at schools in the Midwest. 

PBR: When did the recruiting process really start to heat up for you? Where did the school you committed to first see you play?

Miller: The recruiting process really started when I played for Kansas select in the high plains shootout after my freshman high school season. I also attended lots of camps in the winter of my sophomore year. 

PBR: What do you like most about the program you chose, and what were the key factors in making your decision?

Miller: What I was looking for in a program was a family environment, proven history of player development, and the community support to the athletes and the school. Also the coaching staff at Nebraska seems genuinely like family.

PBR: What other schools were on your short list before you made your final decision?

Miller: K-State and Wichita State.

PBR: Who is the best player you have faced in your state? What about them makes for a tough opponent?

Miller: Prior to joining the Midwest Aces my toughest opponent was Carter Rose (Shawnee Mission East, 2025) as a pitcher and a hitter. What makes him a tougher opponent was he is a hard throwing left-hander with a great 12-6 curve ball. 

PBR: At what point in your career did you realize you were a college-caliber player and became serious about taking your game to the next level?

Miller: I always wanted to play college baseball and on but when I was 14 going into high school I realized I was bigger and threw harder than most kids my age.  

PBR: What advice would you give to young baseball players striving to get where you are?

Miller: Don’t stop working towards goals, always be improving your mental game, and your baseball IQ.

PBR: What is the most memorable moment in your baseball career to this point?

Miller: My most memorable game I pitched was last high school baseball season when we faced the No. 2 team in the Sunflower League. Our starter fouled a ball of his nose im warmups and I had to start the game on short notice and held them to one run and three hits through six innings. 

PBR: Preview your high school team's season for us. How do you feel your team will be?

Miller: We got a new coach and I believe he and our team will do a lot better than we did last season and will make a run for the Sunflower League championship.
