Shelby Miller, former pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks that includes an invite to major league camp. This marks Miller's second stint with the team, having previously struggled significantly during his first period from 2016 to 2018, accumulating a 6.35 ERA over 28 starts. However, after revamping his pitching style and transitioning to a reliever, he aims to showcase his improved skills, with the potential to earn $1 million plus bonuses if he makes the major league roster.
Getting three outs is a lot easier than going seven. It's definitely been different. Getting the body ready as you get older. Having to be ready every day is a challenge.
Arizona envisioned him as a key part of the rotation alongside Zack Greinke, but he struggled mightily. In 2016, Miller finished the season with a rough 6.15 ERA over 101 innings.
