BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 167
CURRENT ADP: ~181 overall
ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller is a sleeper that everyone should target in fantasy drafts this season. Miller, who is entering his second Major League Baseball season, has an ADP outside the top 180. His 2023 season might not have been the best, but there is a lot of optimism that he will perform better in 2024 with 25 career starts under his belt.
Last season, Miller finished with a 4.32 ERA, 119 strikeouts, and 26 walks across 131.1 innings pitched. However, there were a lot of strong starts from the right-hander throughout his rookie campaign, which included allowing one run or less in 13 of his 25 starts. The Mariners pitcher did have some bumps along the way and gave up at least five earned runs in six starts. But he showcased more good stuff than bad in his first year.
The metrics also back up that statement, which should help Miller improve in his second year in the majors. The 25-year-old had just a 4.8% walk rate as a rookie, which landed him in the top 5% in all of baseball. On top of that, his average exit velocity (90.7 mph) and max exit velocity (116.9 mph) were some of the lowest in the MLB.

The young right-hander is a great pick in the later rounds of your fantasy drafts because there should be much improvement on the mound from him. Miller has a mean fastball that tops out at 95.3 mph and has added a split-finger to his arsenal this offseason that should help him keep hitters guessing.
