On Day 2 of the 2024 MLB draft, the Miami Marlins selected Alabama Crimson Tide third baseman Gage Miller with the No. 92 overall pick.
Miller spent one season in Tuscaloosa after transferring from Bishop State Community College in Mobile, Alabama. The Pennsylvania native had a strong junior campaign in Tuscaloosa. He amassed a .381 batting average to go along with a team-high 19 home runs and 58 runs batted in.
In all likelihood, Miller will elect to turn pro and sign a contract with the Marlins organization. He has the option to return to college if he so chooses. However, it will be tough for Miller to pass up on being selected in the third round. The former junior college standout will be a difficult player to replace in Tuscaloosa.
The Marlins are in need of assembling a strong farm system for the major league team. Their decision to draft Miller is one that could go a long way in the future.
With their 3rd-round pick (No. 92 overall), the @Marlins select @AlabamaBSB second baseman Gage Miller, No. 68 on the Top 250 Draft Prospects list.
