As soon as Arizona's Adam Eaton transpired with an elbow injuries in spring training, Shelby Miller became my own pick for NL Rookie with the Year for two reasons. First, and most obvious, he had a job appearing out of spring training. Playing time is kind of something useful when handing out awards.
Second, Miller's combination with power stuff, mound presence and command was wanting to play in the substantial leagues.
It is safe to say that after just one month, Miller has exceeded even the foremost optimistic projections. He had a streak of four straight starts when he struck out at least six hitters. He has thrown six innings or over in four of her six starts.
While I don't expect Miller to possess a 3. 5-1 strikeout-to-walk rate all season, his stuff is well enough to average no less than one punchout per inning, and he stays inside the zone enough to force hitters to set the ball in play.
The Cardinals have your rash of hard-throwing right-handers in the high levels of your minors or recently promoted for the big leagues (Miller, Trevor Rosenthal, Carlos Martinez), but Miller shall be the best of that bunch.
