Benjamin Miller is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 220 lb. frame from Clive, IA who attends Valley HS. Strong athletic build, has firmed up and lost weight, looks 6-3/205 now. Leg raise/side step delivery, compact arm action, hides the ball well, bit cross body on release, tight 3/4's release point. Steady upper 80's fastball, topped out at 89 mph, mostly straight, will occasionally turn fastball over, spots fastball well to both corners. Nice change up with arm speed, uses with confidence. Has developed a new curveball, very promising pitch at 74 mph, showed hard spin and real depth at times and threw it for strikes. Strong bodied lefty with three solid pitches and good command, has really improved. Good student, signed with Nebraska.
PG Grade 9.5

Ben Miller is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Clive, IA who attends Valley HS. Big strong build, fairly mature physically. Very compact arm action, tight high 3/4's release point, hides ball very well, throws downhill, some effort on release but stays balanced and online. Mid 80's fastball topped at 87 mph, have seen up to 89 mph frequently this spring, fastball mostly straight and spots to both sides of the plate. Nice change up with good feel and late sinking life. Did not throw slider this outing, developing reliable third pitch will be key to his development. Verbal commitment to Nebraska.

Ben Miller is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Clive, IA who attends Valley HS. Strong mature build, limited future projection. Sound repeatable pitching mechanics, gets turned well, stays on line to the plate, tight compact arm action with high elbow arm circle, quick arm. Fastball topped at 89 mph, comfort zone 85-87, gets on hitters quickly due to deceptive arm action, mostly straight but can move fastball in and out and stays down well. Very nice change up with arm speed and late life/sink, has confidence in change and will use at any time. Slider a non-factor at present, small soft break and rarely uses, will have to improve for the next level. Some power in his left handed bat, pull approach and will hit around the ball, uppercut swing plane. Shows good athleticism around first base on defense. Verbal Commitment to Nebraska.

Ben Miller is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from Clive, IA who attends Valley HS. Big strong build, good present strength, limited physical projection. Low hand delivery, very short and compact arm action, hides ball well, tight 3/4's release point. Consistent mid 80's fastball, gets on hitters quickly with deception from release, good arm side run when down. Change is best off speed pitch, very good sink at times, good feel for location. Rare slider, flashes spin but limited present feel. Will need to develop a breaking ball but has two solid present pitches. Left handed hitter, low hand set up, sound swing mechanics, hits inside the ball, some strength at contact, needs to get the barrel going sooner for more consistent contact.
