In college we had a different approach which is maybe why pitching in Modesto was not as successful as Everett has been. Coming into this year I was able to trust my stuff and know that if I throw it over the plate and throw it where it is supposed to go then I am going to have success. The addition of throwing two different sliders has certainly helped. Seems like a huge difference to me.īM: I have been throwing well this year with more confidence.
SSU: What has been the difference between playing with Modesto last year and Everett this season. It is something new for me but so far, it has been a success. The other slider is a sweeper and I throw it 82mph to 85 mph. One slider is like a gyro slider which I throw it 88 mph to ninety mph. About a month ago I stopped throwing the curveball and started throwing two different sliders. SSU: How many pitches does Bryce Miller throw?īM: I throw a fastball, curve, slider, and a changeup. I knew Seattle was interested but I truly thought it might be another team. My agent called me and told me, and I could not have been happier. We had a general idea where I was going but when Seattle announced my name, I was excited. We were there watching with my family and friends. Where were you on draft day? *īM*: I was at my house. SSU: In 2021 you were drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the fourth round of the Major League Draft, 113th pick overall. After my freshman year I went down the road to College Station in Texas and attended Texas A&M University where I played for three more years. It all worked out I would like to say.īM: *I went to Blinn College my freshman year looking to play in the outfield and as a pitcher. I figured I would give it a shot and the rest is history. I threw the ball pretty hard from the outfield, so the coaches wanted me to try out as a pitcher. SSU: Why did they wait until your senior year in high school to turn you into a pitcher?īM: After my Junior year we lost a ton of pitching. I loved to hit, and I thought I had a future in playing the outfield and before we knew it, I became a pitcher. I played infield and outfield growing up. I did not become a pitcher though until my senior year in high school. SSU: When did you start playing baseball?īM: I started playing baseball right away, I played Tee Ball. Pleasant, Texas but when I was one, we moved just outside of San Antonio. Where were you born?īM: I was born in Mt.
Seattle Sports Union was fortunate to sit down with this young man recently. What a difference a year has made with this young man. Miller has walked seventeen batters and opponents are hitting. He has struck out seventy batters in 53 1/3 innings and currently a 0.96 WHIP. At time of writing, he currently has a 3-1 record with a 1.86 ERA. The velocity of his pitches seems to increase every outing (clocked in the upper nineties many times). His walks are down, and his strikeouts continue to rise each baseball game he pitches in. In 2022 Bryce was assigned to our beloved Everett AquaSox where he has flourished from day one. After Bryce signed a contract with the Seattle Mariners, he finished out his summer with the Modesto Nuts. He closed out his college career as a starter and many teams noticed, including our beloved Seattle Mariners who took him with the 113th pick of the draft. His Junior year in college, COVID struck our world, and his season was cut short.
