LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers selected right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller from the University of Louisville with the 29th overall selection in the 2020 First Year Player Draft.

Miller, 21, made four starts for the Cardinals in 2020, going 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA (6 ER/23.1 IP) with 34 strikeouts against nine walks. He tallied three quality starts in four chances, striking out a career-high 12 batters over 6.2 innings on February 22 against Valparaiso University

In 2018, the McHenry, IL native earned Freshman All-America honors and was selected All-ACC Third Team and All-ACC Freshman Team after going 6-1 with a 2.97 ERA (22 ER/66.2 IP) and 55 strikeouts over 17 games (nine starts). In three seasons with Louisville, he recorded a 15-2 record with a 3.28 ERA (62 ER/170 IP) with 175 strikeouts in 41 appearances (25 games).

“Tremendous night for the Dodgers and we are ecstatic to select Bobby,” said Vice President of Amateur Scouting Billy Gasparino. “He’s a very talented pitcher with huge upside that we are looking forward to developing into a quality Major League pitcher. His work ethic and character will fit in well with our current culture.”

He was a four-year letter winner at McHenry High School West Campus and was selected in 38th round of 2017 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles before electing to attend the University of Louisville. He finished his senior season with a 0.80 ERA with 96 strikeouts in 52 innings and was a Rawlings-Perfect Game Honorable Mention All-American.

The 2020 First-Year Player Draft will continue tomorrow with the final four rounds beginning at 2:00 p.m. PST and televised on ESPN2 and MLB Network. The Dodgers will have five selections in the second day of the draft beginning with the 60th overall selection.
