Florida’s new shortstop swing piece: Sam Miller brings Ivy League pop and polish
Sam Miller looks like an immediate-impact add for Florida in the 2026 season: a projected starting shortstop with real offensive juice, plate discipline, and veteran at-bats after being named the 2025 Ivy League Player of the Year at Columbia. In the 2025 season, he hit .338 with a .407 on-base percentage, a .606 slugging percentage, 16 home runs, and 57 RBI, and Florida sources also point to his strong arm and defensive reliability as key traits. The fit? High-upside, plug-and-play middle-infield help with enough bat to matter right away.
