Miller, 25, turned in a strong 2015 season, his first with Atlanta after being acquired from St. Louis in a trade sending Jason Heyward the other way. He made his first All-Star appearance and finished with a 3.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 171 strikeouts. Even with those statistics, he went just 6–17 as the Braves struggled to provide run support during a disappointing year.
