A's cap Day 2 of Draft with Pepperdine right-hander

The A's drafted Pepperdine right-hander Corey Miller with their 10th pick of the First-Year Player Draft and their final selection of the day Friday.

Miller has posted a 1.75 ERA in 15 starts this season, tossing three complete games along the way to help lead Pepperdine to a Super Regional appearance. He's walked just 29 batters in 113 innings.

The Brewers took Miller in the 16th round last year, but he did not sign. Last summer he played for the Orleans Firebirds in the Cape Cod League, going 5-1 with a 3.20 ERA.

Oakland took six right-handed pitchers in the first 10 rounds of the Draft, and Miller, at 6-foot-3, is the tallest of the bunch.

The Draft concludes on Saturday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 10 a.m. PT.
