Since 2014, Miller has been editor-in-chief of the widely-acclaimed Baseball Prospectus website. He has also covered the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for the Orange County Register as a beat writer.
Said Miller: "So much of what I know and what I love about baseball is thanks to ESPN, which has always been a leader in broadcasting and writing about the sport. It's humbling to join a lineage of journalists that includes so many of my writing heroes."
