Aidan Miller Opts for Rest, Pulls Out of Arizona Fall League
Aidan Miller will not play in the Arizona Fall League due to "some nagging things physically," according to farm director Luke Murton. The Phillies are choosing rest for Miller after a long season that ended with him at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Per MLB Pipeline, Miller is Philly's No. 2 prospect, behind only right-hander Andrew Painter. The 21-year-old former 27th overall pick in 2023 played for Double-A Reading and Lehigh Valley this year and hit a combined .264/.392/.433 with an .825 OPS, 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 82 runs scored, and a whopping 59 stolen bases in 116 games. He only spent eight games at Triple-A. It's unclear if Miller will stick at shortstop in the long run or eventually move to third base, but either way, he's a pure hitter with elite speed. If he shows well at Lehigh Valley early in 2026, Miller should be on track to make his big-league debut next season.
