Corky Abraham Phillip Miller[1] (born March 18, 1976) is a former catcher in Major League Baseball and currently coaches the Dayton Dragons, the A-affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.

His accolades include first-team All-State and All-CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) honors while leading the T-Birds to the CIF titles in 1993 and 1994.

He made his Major League debut at age 25 on September 4, 2001, in a 7–1 Reds home loss to the Houston Astros, a game which he started and went hitless in three at-bats.

[5] He got his first big-league hit six days later, a single off Tony McKnight in a 3–1 road loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Miller was granted free agency after the season and signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves.

Miller became a free agent following the 2008 season and signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox.

[9] As a non-roster invitee to White Sox spring training, Miller impressed enough to be awarded the back-up catcher's role to A. J. Pierzynski.

In his first regular season game for the White Sox on April 11, 2009 (vs. the Minnesota Twins) Miller went 2–4, with 2 RBI and a run scored.

He continued to fill the backup role, now with Hanigan and Hernandez switching spots on the disabled list.

His starts came mostly as catcher for the Reds' young arms, such as Travis Wood and Matt Maloney, since he caught them in Louisville.

Miller served as a primary catcher for the Bats due to Tucker Barnhart starting the season in Cincinnati with Devin Mesoraco on the DL.

Corky Miller was added to the Reds single A affiliate team, Dayton Dragons coaching staff for the 2015 season.

"We are excited to transition Corky Miller onto our Minor League coaching staff in 2015," said Jeff Graupe, Reds Director of Player Development.

"Corky will be based out of Dayton and will split his time working with the Dragons and roving around our system developing our catchers.
