2025 Fantasy Outlook
Miller walked 5.8 batters per nine innings across his four seasons in the minors, but still managed to win a spot in the Giants' Opening Day bullpen. The 6-foot-5 southpaw's control issues persisted at the MLB level - his 13.4 percent walk rate was a 2nd percentile metric in 2024 - but he struck out opposing hitters at an impressive 30.6 percent clip (92nd percentile) while inducing a top-30 groundball rate (50.8 percent) among relief pitchers. San Francisco deployed the rookie as an opener 10 times out of his 73 appearances, but he also picked up 14 holds, suggesting there is potential for Miller to earn a higher-leverage role with the Giants in 2025. He'll need to improve his control to take on greater responsibilities, but Miller's profile is worth considering as a late-round save spec in deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks

Miller picked up a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Marlins, allowing two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.
ANALYSIS
Miller entered the game in the eighth inning and recorded his seventh hold of the season, throwing 12 of his 18 pitches for strikes. The left-hander gave up a single and a double before being pulled in favor of closer Camilo Doval. Miller hasn't been charged with a run since May 11. He owns a 1.40 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and a 15:13 K:BB with two wins and two blown saves across 19.1 innings in 23 appearances this season.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
