Miller was named the third head baseball coach in program history in June 2025, succeeding Hall of Fame coach Tim Wallace following a nationwide search. A third-generation collegiate baseball coach, Miller brought experience from coaching stops at USC Aiken, USC Sumter, and Carson-Newman, where he built a reputation as a strong recruiter, infield instructor, and offensive developer. As a student-athlete at Anderson University, Miller was a two-time All-South Atlantic Conference selection, a Gold Glove Award winner, and remains among the program's career leaders in multiple offensive categories. 

In his first season leading the Pioneers in 2026, Miller guided Spartanburg Methodist to one of the most successful campaigns in the program's young four-year era. SMC finished 26-24 overall and placed fourth in the Appalachian Athletic Conference with a 16-11 league record after being picked to finish 10th in the preseason coaches' poll. The Pioneers opened the season by sweeping a four-game series against Carolina University before advancing to the AAC Tournament.

Under Miller's leadership, the Pioneers developed into one of the conference's most productive offensive clubs, batting .301 with 30 home runs, 97 doubles, and 308 RBI in 50 games. Defensively, the pitching staff recorded 312 strikeouts in 403.1 innings while helping position SMC among the conference's top contenders.

The success extended beyond the field. Spartanburg Methodist was recognized as the College's Men's Team of the Year, while senior Blake Exizian earned First Team All-Appalachian Athletic Conference honors and junior Elijah Franz was selected to the All-AAC Second Team. The program also continued its commitment to academic excellence, posting a 3.14 spring team GPA with 29 student-athletes earning Athletic Director's Honor Roll recognition and 21 being named to the AAC All-Academic Team.
