Shelby Charles Miller (born October 10, 1990) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Miller made his major league debut in 2012 with the St. Louis Cardinals and has also played for the Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks. Drafted by the Cardinals out of Brownwood High School in the first round of the 2009 MLB draft, Miller became one of the sport's highest-rated prospects. He is a recipient of numerous awards, including the Cardinals' minor league pitcher of the year in 2010, Baseball America's number one Cardinals prospect from 2009–11, and selection to the All-Star Futures Game in 2010 and 2011. A fourth award, MLB.com's Pitching Performance of the Month, was the result of his first MLB complete game shutout in May 2013, a one-hitter against the Colorado Rockies. After the 2014 season, the Cardinals traded Miller to the Braves. In 2015, Miller was named to the MLB All-Star Game. That offseason, the Braves traded Miller to the Diamondbacks. On July 11, 2019, Miller signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. On August 27, Miller opted out of his contract and was released by Milwaukee. On January 27, 2020, Miller re-signed with the Brewers on a minor league deal.
