Born in Portland, Oregon, he signed with Brooklyn after graduating from high school in Lynwood, California.

Miller had spent 1957 in the Class C Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League before his recall to the Dodgers after rosters were expanded to 40 men post-September 1.

In his one MLB game, on September 28, 1957, he pinch hit for Randy Jackson in the top of the ninth inning against relief pitcher Jack Meyer of the Philadelphia Phillies, and struck out.

Weeks after the 1957 regular season ended on September 29, the team moved to Los Angeles for the 1958 campaign.

Although the Dodgers' new home was minutes from Miller's high school alma mater, he never again appeared for them after 1957.
