Miller appeared in a total of 138 MLB games during parts of seven seasons.[2] He played a career-high 50 major-league games with the 1981 Atlanta Braves.[2] He had a .286 batting average (79-for-332) for his MLB career, with only eight extra base hits.[2] His only major-league home run came in his final major-league at bat.[3]
