Bobby Miller, the Dodgers' top pitching prospect, has been pressed into his first MLB start against the Braves on Tuesday due to multiple injuries.
Dodgers prospects Ryan Pepiot, Michael Grove, Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller could bolster the major league rotation in 2023.After dominating in high A in 2021 with a 1.91 ERA in 14 outings, Miller was more inconsistent in 23 career double A appearances, posting a 4.49 ERA despite 131 strikeouts in just over 100 innings.
“The difference was, he was able to land his off-speed [pitches in the zone] early in the count, and they had to respect that,” triple A manager Travis Barbary said. “That’s been something he has really focused on. Get ahead with the soft stuff, which creates more swing and miss later in the count.”His fastball lights up the radar gun, but it doesn’t have elite movement or life, capable of being squared up if not either commanded precisely or sequenced well with his other pitches well.
That’s why Roberts’ message to the pitcher Monday was about mentality, reminding him “Don’t try to throw 110. Just throw 100. And then it’ll be there.” Still, the flame-throwing prospect could be a big part of the Dodgers plans later this year, and remains a critical cog in their long-term future.
