Miller brings power-lefty upside, but the early Mississippi State sample is rough
Freshman **LHP Maddox Miller** enters Mississippi State as a highly regarded arm — ranked **No. 25 among Perfect Game’s 2026 freshmen** and **No. 44 on D1Baseball’s Top 100 freshmen** — after a dominant Oak Grove career built on strikeouts and run suppression. His Mississippi State start has been uneven so far, with an **8.10 ERA** in a tiny sample, but the encouraging signs are real: **14 strikeouts against just one walk** suggest his stuff plays and he can attack hitters. He looks like a good fit for teams valuing upside, competitiveness, and left-handed velocity/pitchability.
