Miller headed south to partake in America’s pastime

Ozaukee High School senior Noah Miller last week signed a letter of intent to play baseball for the University of Alabama. He was flanked by his parents Tom and Rose, (back row, from left) brother Owen, Ozaukee baseball coach Steve Kowalkowski, athletic director Andy McKee, Noah’s sister Loren and Ozaukee Supt. Dave Karrels. According to Alabama’s website for school athletics, rolltide.com, Noah is Wisconsin’s top-rated player by Prep Baseball Report (PBR) and Perfect Game USA. PBR ranks him as the 10th shortstop and 50th overall prospect in the country. Perfect Game USA ranks him as the No. 16 shortstop and 59th overall prospect. Noah was a first-team selection to the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association North East All-District Team last year. He hit over .500 with nine doubles, three triples and three home runs with 20 RBI and 14 steals last season. Noah’s brother is a professional baseball player with the Cleveland Indians.                                                         Photo by Sam Arendt
