Dodgers rookie RHP Bobby Miller got his MLB career off to a great start on Tuesday, throwing five one-run innings against the strong Braves lineup in LA’s 8-1 win.
Miller showed all the makings of a future star in this league, pumping six pitches of at least 100 mph, 28 pitches faster than 99 mph and mixing in tons of variety in his secondary pitches.
The Dodgers didn’t seem like they wanted to call Miller up this early in the year, but injuries forced their hand, and it paid instant dividends.
Miller has received tons of praise after his first start, getting it from his manager, his teammates and even MLB analysts.
