MIF/RHP Payton Miller (Neenah, 2024) was an interesting two-way prospect at the event. Miller is listed at an athletic 5-foot-8, 155 pounds and he’s added some strength to his stature. He began the day by running a 7.13 in the 60-yard dash before the right-handed hitter showed a compact bat path that impacted the ball to pull-side. Defensively, he showed to be a reliable and smooth infielder with an accurate arm. He recorded a max infield velocity of 82 mph. During his bullpen he showed a quick and aggressive arm with a fastball that reached 81.6 mph on a straight four-seamer. His slider showed a 10/4 shape, and his changeup was thrown with fastball intent with sinking action. Miller is a competitive ballplayer that contributes in all kinds of ways in-game.

Miller put together a clean bullpen at the end of his workout, working with pace and tempo throughout. Miller controlled his body well on the mound and efficiently moved downhill to footstrike. His arm played long on the backside with above-average arm speed, finishing from a clean over-the-top slot. Miller threw his fastball with true four-seam backspin at 78-79 mph, and there’s room for him to grow into more velocity as he continues to physically develop. He landed a slurve-type breaking ball for strikes with some consistency and threw his changeup at arm speed, too.
