DURHAM, N.C. – North Carolina Central University sophomore Ryan Miller (Blandon, Pa.) now has more postseason honors to add to the list after his historic campaign in the 2021 season as he has been named Third Team All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), and Second Team All-Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Rawlings.
 
Miller is the first Eagle to receive these accolades from the respective outlets, and this is the second All-America honor that he has received this year after he was selected by Collegiate Baseball on June 3.
 
Miller was voted as the 2021 MEAC Pitcher of the Year, and was recently recognized by Black College Nines as the Large School Division National Pitcher of the Year as well.  Miller was also named as a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), which is awarded to the top player in college baseball.
 
Miller set an NCCU modern era record in wins as he went 10-0, and posted a MEAC-best 2.24 ERA, which is a new regular-season record for starters at NCCU.  He led the league in innings pitched (68.1) and also held opponents to a MEAC second-lowest .195 batting average.
 
Miller was a four-time MEAC Pitcher of the Week winner, including in back-to-back weeks when he threw consecutive complete game shutouts against Norfolk State on Feb. 27 and March 6.  He also posted a run of 23 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run during his first four starts of the year.
