He recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats, which included 1 run batted in, showcasing his ability to contribute offensively during his short stint in the league.
Playing in the late 1920s, a period marked by the transition from the deadball era to a more offense-oriented game, Miller's career was overshadowed by the rise of more prominent players and the increasing popularity of the sport. While he did not achieve the statistical milestones that would define a long-term major leaguer, his participation in the game during this era reflects the opportunities and challenges faced by many players of his time.
