Kurt Miller
Starting Pitcher | Cincinnati Reds
Pitching Miller's control is among the best in the game. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! He attacks lefties and righties the same way.
Defense & Hitting He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Miller is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Miller has some pop in his swing.
