Shelby Miller's Spring Training

Cardinals top prospect pitcher, Shelby Miller is named their 5th rotation starter after having a solid win (4-3) on the mound against Minnesota on Monday. He gave up 1 run on 6 six hits and 2 walks in 4 1/3 innings. The 22 year old pitcher has had an impressive spring with a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings, walked 5 and struck out 13. He got his first view in the MLB last year after having a 1.32 ERA in 13 and 2/3 innings as September call-up before seeing action in the National League Championship Series against the San Francisco Giants. The young prospect says "I'm really excited, I'm still trying to talk it all in that I am the 5th starting pitcher behind some of the best pitchers in the league." He also states that it is hard to believe that he is playing with the Saint Louis is Cardinals because it is one of the most respected teams in the league.
