Phillies 2019 Draft Rounds 4-6

Round 4
Erik Miller, LHP
Stanford University

Miller is a 6’5” 240 lbs Lefty with a fastball that is inconsistently plus. He also has an inconsistently plus slider and inconsistently above average change-up. He also has inconsistent command. Essentially, he’s inconsistent. He could move quickly in a relief role, but the Phillies will keep him a starter as long as they can. This sounds like a lot to fix, but mostly it’s about stiffness in his delivery. If the Phillies can work some yoga into his routine and help adjust his release mechanics he could end up a mid-rotation starter.
