After a standout freshman season at Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne in 2015, Miller was drafted in the 22nd round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres. He led the Summit League in strikeouts (94) and was voted to the All-Summit League Second Team.

He spent seven years as a pitcher in the San Diego Padres organization (2016-2022) with more than two years of AAA experience. In 2019, he was named a California League All-Star and was also part of the Texas League Championship team. In 2022, he was part of the PCL East Division Championship team.

In addition to his coaching duties at Snead State, Miller also serves as head coach of the East Coast Sox 14U Elite Team.
