Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks drafted Miller in the sixth round, with the 189th overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[1][2] He made his professional debut with the rookie–level Hillsboro Hops, logging a 3.86 ERA in 12 games. Miller spent the 2019 campaign with the Single–A Kane County Cougars, logging a 4–6 record and 3.62 ERA with 36 strikeouts over 27 appearances out of the bullpen.[3]
Miller did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] He was released by the Diamondbacks organization on May 28, 2020.[5]
Southern Illinois Miners
On January 19, 2021, Miller signed with the Southern Illinois Miners of the Frontier League.[6] In 25 appearances for Southern Illinois, he compiled a 2.89 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 6 saves across 38 innings pitched.[7] Miller became a free agent on October 6, when the Miners folded.[8]
Sioux Falls Canaries
On February 17, 2022, Miller signed with the Sioux Falls Canaries of the American Association of Professional Baseball.[9] Miller made one appearance for the Canaries, tossing 1+1⁄3 scoreless innings of relief and recording three strikeouts and the save.[10]
New York Yankees
On May 19, 2022, Miller's contract was purchased by the New York Yankees organization.[11] In 25 appearances for the High–A Hudson Valley Renegades, Miller posted a 2–3 record and 5.75 ERA with 50 strikeouts across 36 innings.[12]
Boston Red Sox
On December 7, 2022, Miller was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[13] Miller made 41 appearances for the Double–A Portland Sea Dogs, working to a 5–3 record and 4.03 ERA with 67 strikeouts across 60+1⁄3 innings pitched.[14]

In 13 games during his rookie campaign, Miller logged a 4.15 ERA with 11 strikeouts over 13 innings pitched. He was designated for assignment on November 7, to create room on the 40-man roster for Kyle Hendricks.[18] Miller was released by the team on November 12.[19]
