1977 Topps #77 Dyar Miller


About Dyar Miller
Number 77 still shows Miller with the Orioles, but on June 13, 1977 Baltimore traded him to California for Dick Drago. He split the year between the two clubs and pitched 114 2/3 innings in 53 games, both career highs. He went 6-6 with a 3.53 ERA and 5 saves.
Dyar Miller was a right-handed reliever who pitched seven major league seasons, 1975 to 1981, for the Orioles, Angels, Blue Jays and Mets, going 23-17 with a 3.23 ERA in 251 games. Born in Batesville, Indiana, he graduated from Utah State with a history degree and signed with the Phillies as a catcher in 1968, only to be released three weeks later. The Orioles signed him in 1969 after scout Jim Frey, a relative by marriage, arranged an invitation to spring training as a pitcher. A slider learned in the Mexican Pacific League in the winter of 1972-73 helped him become a Rochester Red Wings starter, and Earl Weaver kept him in the minors in spring 1975 despite a 1.80 ERA. Moved to relief, he was called up to Baltimore on his 29th birthday. After playing in the Cardinals system through 1984, he coached for more than two decades, including the Cardinals' bullpen in 2012, and retired after the 2018 season.
