BIOGRAPHY
Brad Miller was born October 18, 1989, in Orlando, Florida. He is a second baseman in the MLB.
The Seattle Mariners selected Miller in the second round, with the 62nd overall selection, of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft, and he signed for a $750,000 signing bonus. In 2012, while playing for Seattle’s Class A-Advanced California League High Desert Mavericks, he posted a slash line of .339 (9th in the league)/.412 (7th)/.524, with 89 runs (7th) and 33 doubles (3rd), and was the April 16 Player of the Week, a mid-season All Star, and an MiLB.com Organization All Star. In 2013 he was named a Player of the Week on April 15 for the Jackson Generals in the Southern League for whom he batted .294 (9th in the league)/.379/.471, an All-Star Futures Game selection for the Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League for whom he batted .356/.426/.596, and was again an MiLB.com Organization All-Star.
Miller was acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies from the New York Yankees for cash considerations on June 13, 2019. In September, Miller became the first Phillies player with three multi-home run games in a nine-game span in team history. Playing for the Phillies in 2019 he batted .263/.331/.610 with 12 home runs and 21 RBIs in 118 at-bats, as he appeared in 35 games as a pinch hitter, 19 games at third base, 16 games in left field, and one game each at shortstop, in right field, and as a pinch-runner.
Miller signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract to return to the Phillies on February 17, 2021. Miller hit his 100th career home run on May 25, 2021, against Shawn Morimando of the Miami Marlins. On July 8, while starting at first base and batting second against the Chicago Cubs, Miller hit three home runs and collected five RBIs in the Phillies' 8–0 victory. It was the first three-home run game of Miller's career and the first by any member of the Phillies since Jayson Werth in 2008. On July 29, Miller capped off a Phillies comeback with a walk-off grand slam against the Washington Nationals, bringing the final score to 11–8. It was the first time that Philadelphia had mounted a victory after starting a game with a deficit of seven or more runs since 2010. In 140 games and 331 at-bats for the Phillies, Miller batted .227 for the season, with 20 home runs and 49 RBIs. He became a free agent at the end of the season.
On March 17, 2022, Miller signed a two-year $10 million contract with the Texas Rangers.
