A's Top Prospect Overcomes Diabetes, Strikes Out Side in MLB Debut
- The A's 2023 season has started badly but their top prospect Mason Miller made his MLB debut.
- Miller features a high-speed fastball and tight slider that helped him strike out the side in the second innning.
- Miller was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 19 but has persevered to make the majors.
- Miller did not walk a batter and allowed just two hits in 8 2/3 innings in AAA this year before his call-up.
- Miller could represent the future of the A's franchise as part of a youth movement for the struggling team.
