I wish I could catch Miller's start on milb.tv this afternoon, but I can't. He's been really effing good his past 7 starts.

 

28.4% K rate, 4.5% BB rate, 2.60 FIP

 

I would imagine he's been having success with more than just his fastball to be able to post those numbers, but does anyone know how his slider and change have looked this year (assuming he still uses those 2 as his secondaries)?

I got a pretty heavy work week this week, but I'll try to take a look at his game tonight (or some of his more recent ones if tonight's isn't broadcast) and give you my description.

That's for doing the heavy lifting. I am moving to a new house and my in-laws are in this entire week, otherwise I'd try and squeeze it in myself. It sucks that I don't have the time to watch minor league games like I used to.

LHP Luis Rodriguez continues to mow them down in the DSL. I have no idea about his stuff, but the numbers are great.

 

5.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3Ks today.

 

36.1 IP, 19 H, 7 R (4 ER), 5 BB, 36 K, .151 BAA, 0.66 WHIP, 0.99 ERA on the year.

 

He's 6'1", 190 lbs., so he's not one of these featherweight lefties, but he could still be a soft-tossing, pitchability types that are uber effective at this level. Whatever he's doing it's repeatable. He hasn't had a bad outing yet (10 appearances so far). He's 18, but this is his first pro season so he's not repeating a level. It'll be interesting to see if he makes Mesa next season and possibly get a scouting report from AZ Phil next spring.
