Panther Valley’s Aaron Miller recently was named the 2017 All-American Baseball Academy Player of the Year.

Miller hit .348 (48-for-138) for both the 16U and 17U All-American teams. He reached base safely 80 times. His seven doubles, eight triples, 28 RBIs, 35 runs, 24 walks and six wins on the mound were all organization bests.

He also played great defense at shortstop, third base and in the outfield. Whatever the team needed, Miller provided on a consistent basis. It seemed like every toughest game, most crucial at bat or mound appearance Aaron was there to answer the bell.

Miller went 8-for-18 with four triples, one double, eight runs scored, four RBIs and win on the mound were key during the team’s All-American Fall Brawl Championship series.
