Miami Marlins select Brian Miller with 36th overall pick

Brian Williams is a baseball rags to riches story. On Monday night, he became a first round selection of the Miami Marlins. A dream come true for any player. Let alone the baseball roadblocks that Miller has overcome.

Coming out of high school Miller was very lightly recruited by colleges out of high school. He went unselected in the Major League draft that year. Through pure determination and sweat, Miller turned himself into a first round draft selection.

In Williams, the Marlins get a toolsy outfielder who can hit for average and fly around the bases.
