Bryce Austen Miller (born August 23, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher currently playing for the Seattle Mariners in Major League Baseball (MLB). He was selected by the Mariners in the fourth round of the 2021 MLB Draft and signed with a $400,000 bonus. Miller made his professional debut with the Modesto Nuts and progressed through the Mariners’ minor league system, including stints with the High-A Everett AquaSox and Double-A Arkansas Travelers. In 2022, he compiled a 7–4 record with a 3.16 ERA and 163 strikeouts across multiple minor league levels. Miller made his MLB debut in 2023 and quickly established himself as a notable starting pitcher. In his first major league start on May 1, 2023, he carried a perfect game into the sixth inning and struck out 10 batters, setting a Mariners record for most strikeouts in a debut. He also set MLB records for allowing the fewest baserunners and lowest WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) in his first three starts, and became the first pitcher since 1901 to pitch at least six innings while allowing four or fewer hits in his first five appearances. Miller is known for his rising pitch velocity, often reaching the upper 90s (mph), and his strikeout ability. Born in Mount Pleasant, Texas, Miller grew up near San Antonio and initially played infield and outfield positions, only converting to pitching in his senior year of high school. Off the field, he enjoys hunting and golf. He models his pitching style after Walker Buehler of the Los Angeles Dodgers and was influenced by the analytics-focused baseball movie *Moneyball*. As of 2025, Miller remains an active member of the Seattle Mariners, contributing to their pitching rotation while recovering from a recent injury that placed him on the injured list[1][2][3][5].
