Daily News | First-round pick Aidan Miller ready to get to work with the Phillies: ‘It’s really a perfect scenario’
liked him. He just didn’t think they’d draft him. So, upon getting the news Sunday from his agent at a draft party with family and friends — shortly before commissioner Rob Manfred told the rest of the world on live television — Miller had to share it with the biggest Phillies fan that he knows.
That’s a nice place to start. But if Miller becomes the hitter the Phillies think he will be, well, let’s just say Wright’s relatives won’t have the only red-pinstriped jerseys with his name on the back. And if all that didn’t put Miller at ease amid the anticipation of the ups and downs that await in pro ball, there are the lessons learned from his brother, Jackson, a second-round pick of the Reds in 2020 who has been challenged by shoulder and core injuries in his brief career.
“It’s my second home, pretty much,” Miller said. “I’m there for about two, three hours every day working out, hitting. It’s really cool to see all the big leaguers who come through on a daily basis. Every day I think I learned something new from those guys.” “And then you’re thinking all those [individual] thoughts — ‘What am I going to do with the draft? Am I going to go to college now?’ People were asking me. It wasn’t good for my mental health. I realized it wasn’t healthy thinking about all that and just focused on getting back healthy and swinging again.”
“He’s definitely stronger than the other kids,” Barber said. “He might have some of the strongest legs you will ever see from a high school player.”Miller’s longest home run on record: A 420-footer for Team USA at Lecom Park in Bradenton, Fla.
