[ＢＡ] 8. Wade Miley
No Diamondbacks farmhand improved as much in 2010 as Miley, a supplemental
first-round pick two years earlier who signed for $887,000. After his stuff and
prospect status began to slip in 2009, he hired a trainer for the offseason.
The improvement in his conditioning and confidence showed as he took his game
to another level after a midseason promotion to Double-A, and Arizona
considered him for a big league promotion. Miley's fastball dipped to 87-88 mph
at times in 2009, but he pitched at 92-93 last year and spiked as high as 96.
He uses his 79-83 mph slider as a strikeout pitch, though it gets a little
slurvy at times. His changeup flirts with being a plus pitch, improving as he
threw it more and with better arm speed. Miley also throws a curveball, which
is basically a softer version of his slider, and a cutter. He's still working
to improve his command but showed more ability to pitch deep into starts in
2010. He's athletic and fields his position well. If Miley can prove that the
strides he made at Mobile were for real, he could get his first big league
callup in 2011. Arizona needs pitching, and he'll be just one level away in
Triple-A.
