Corky Miller

Corky Abraham Phillip Miller was born on March 18, 1976 in Corbin City, New Jersey.

The Cincinnati Reds signed him as an undrafted free agent in 1998. He reached the Majors in 2001, and played parts of four seasons for the Reds. Miller frequently went up and down as a third catcher, hitting .203 with six home runs over 83 games between 2001 and 2004.

He signed a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins in 2005, batting .229 with 11 home runs for the Rochester Red Wings. Miller played four regular season games for the Twins, going 0-for-12 with two strikeouts.

The rest of his career was more of the same. Miller spent most of it on minor league deals, waiting at the Triple-A level for his team to need a third catcher. He played for the Boston Red Sox (2006), Atlanta Braves (2007-08), Chicago White Sox (2009), and Reds (2009-10 and 2013).

Miller has been a longtime catching coach in the Reds farm system, serving as a roving instructor with all their affiliates.
