At the All-Star break of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, Brownwood High School graduate Shelby Miller is enjoying one of his best campaigns statistically in his 13th season.
In his second stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Miller has recorded a career-high 10 saves – after entering the season with just three – and owns a 3-3 record with a 1.98 ERA with 40 strikeouts and only 11 walks over 36.1 innings pitched in 37 appearances.
His ERA is the second-lowest lowest of his career, as only the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1.72) is better, though he has already surpassed his number of appearances (36) and is closing in on the number of innings pitched (42) from that year.
The Diamondbacks possess a 47-50 record at the break, 11 games behind the National League West-leading Dodgers and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot in the National League. Arizona starts the second half of its season Friday night at home against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Miller now owns a 50-69 career record with a 4.03 ERA and 13 saves. He has pitched in 291 Major League games, starting 133, and tossed 912 innings with 775 strikeouts and 355 walks.
The 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, Miller is playing in his 13th season.
Miller pitched for the Cardinals, Braves, Diamondbacks, Tigers, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers – a total of nine franchises overall.
Miller made his MLB debut on September 5, 2012 with St. Louis.
On May 11, 2013, Miller tossed a one-hitter with the Cardinals, retiring the final 27 Colorado Rockies batters in a row after yielding a lead-off single. Miller notched 13 strikeouts in the contest.
Miller appeared in the 2015 All-Star Game as a member of the Braves, as he posted a 3.02 ERA in 33 starts with a 6-17 record. Miller was one out away from recording a no-hitter against the Florida Marlins on May 17, 2015.
