Owen Miller may have flown under the radar when he was added from San Diego in the Clevinger trade.

Second Base: Owen Miller

Owen Miller was perhaps the most underrated addition from the Clevinger trade. Miller was selected by the Padres in the third round of the MLB Draft out of Illinois State and is on a fast track to the majors.

In a full season of minor league action with the Padres Double-A Affiliate in 2019, Miller slashed .290/.355/.430 with 13 home runs and 68 RBI’s. Miller also displayed versatility as he can play both shortstop and second base.

Miller is the 18th ranked prospect and will be 29-years old come opening day of 2025, putting him right in the prime of his career.
