A former Clemson pitcher is headed to The Show.

Right-hander Ryan Miller was brought up by the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday and will get the chance to make his major league debut with the team this week.

Miller, who pitched for Clemson from 2017-18, appeared in 34 games this season for the Salt Lake Bees, the Angels’ Triple A affiliate in the Pacific Coast League. In 62 1/3 innings, Miller compiled a 5-1 record and a 2.45 ERA. He struck out 61 batters and walked 14, holding opponents to a .212 average and 0.99 WHIP.

In two seasons at Clemson, Miller posted an 8-1 record and a 2.59 ERA. He struck out 75 batters while walking 19 over 81 1/3 innings before being selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth round (No. 189) of the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft.

Miller also spent time in the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox organizations before the Angels selected him in Major League Baseball’s annual Rule 5 Draft last December.

Miller could make his big league debut this week in Detroit, where the Angels are currently playing a three-game series. The team returns to Anaheim this weekend for a three-game set against the Seattle Mariners beginning Friday at 9:38 p.m. ET.
