Seattle Mariners' Bryce Miller pitches against the Oakland Athletics during the first inning of a baseball game in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday, May 2, 2023.On Tuesday, Bryce Miller, a former pitcher with the New Braunfels Unicorns, delivered five-and-a-third innings of perfect baseball, not allowing a hit or a walk through his first 16 batters. The effort was Miller's first game in the major leagues for the Seattle Mariners, coming against the Oakland Athletics.
In his six innings pitched — Miller allowed a hit to his 17th batter, a single by A's second baseman Tony Kemp — Miller finished with 10 strikeouts, a record for a debuting pitcher for the Mariners, a team established nearly 50 years ago in 1977. Unfortunately, Miller also finished the night without a win-loss decision, although the Mariners would go on to get the victory Tuesday. Miller is the first pitcher in baseball's modern era to finish his night with 10 or more strikeouts and no walks but not get the win., and the club's second-best prospect overall. Miller was drafted in the fourth round in 2021 from Texas A&M University.
Miller has a 6.41 ERA in 19.2 innings in the minor leagues so far this year, striking out 18 batters in that time with two losses. Miller, if he remains with the Mariners, will likely start again Sunday against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
