    Former Lion Miley Named D-Back Organization All-Star

    Former Southeastern Louisiana University pitcher Wade Miley was selected as an Arizona Diamondback’s Minor League All-Star in a release by the major league organization on Thursday.

    Miley, a Loranger native who played at Southeastern from 2006-08, was selected as the D-Backs’ top left-handed starting pitcher after splitting time at Class A Advanced Visalia and Double-A Mobile.

    Miley, a 2008 first-round pick, owned the second-lowest ERA in the system (2.65) and saw success at two levels. “He was our Minor League Pitcher of the Year and that was as tough a decision as you’ll make,” Mike Berger, the D-backs’ director of player development said in a release on Minorleaguebaseball.com. Miley’s numbers after being moved up to Double-A actually improved — he went 5-2 with a 1.98 ERA and one complete game in 13 starts.

    “He took it to the Southern League level and had the numbers he did. He is definitely the lefty of the year, and that’s saying something,” Berger said. “Miley is deserving.”
