After graduating from Utah State, Miller availed himself for the MLB draft, but was not chosen. He signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as a catcher and was assigned to the Huron Phillies, where Dallas Green was the manager. However, after two errors and four games, the Phillies released him. Miller decided to pursue pitching instead, and in 1969, the Orioles signed him. Between the Florida Instructional League Orioles (a Rookie League team) and the Stockton Ports (a Class-A California League team), MiIller appeared in 36 games, making 13 starts and compiling 153 innings pitched (IP) with a 2.47 earned run average (ERA).\n', '

Miller became more successful at pitching than at catching. He pitched mainly as a starter for the Orioles\' double-A affiliates from 1970 to 1972 – two seasons with the Dallas–Fort Worth Spurs and one with the Ashville Orioles. In 1973, Miller\'s first season in AAA, he posted a 2.75 ERA in 15 games and 72 IP for the Rochester Red Wings. He also played the next two seasons for Rochester. In 1974, Miller pitched 28 games, starting 26. He finished with a 2.70 ERA in 190 IP, allowing 143 hits, 95 bases on balls (BB) while striking out 138, completing nine games (CG) while finished with a 12–8 won–lost record (W–L).\n', '
