When former Diamond Heel Andrew Miller comes in to the game for the Cleveland Indians, the inning is already over. His minuscule 0.98 ERA and 83 Ks in 55 innings since being traded to Cleveland make it easy to understand why; not to mention he was the 4th ever reliever to win an ALCS MVP (besides Dennis Eckersley, Mariano Rivera and Koji Uehara…. they were pretty good) in 2016.
His bullpen dominance has been an incredible resurgence for a pitcher that had an ERA of 5.70 as a starter. With Miller’s stock at an all-time high, and the Heels getting ready to compete for a 10th College World Series appearance, let’s take a look at one of the most decorated Heels to ever step over the chalk line.
