Win number 1000 for Coach Miller could come tonight (weather permitting) against a very strong Lone Oak team, or tomorrow against Anderson County, or tomorrow against Male. All of Coach Miller's win have come at PRP High School.

What year did he start coaching at PRP?

1980. 34th year at PRP, where he was also a player. Only 14 coaches in the country have ever won 1000 high school baseball game (Coach Miller is the 14th with his win against Lone Oak last night), and PRP played Jefferson HS from West Virginia earlier this year -- whose coach has won 1250 games in 41 years of coaching.

Wow! I don't know coach Miller but averaging 30 wins/season for 34 years is very impressive. Congratulations to him and the program.

In 34 years, his teams have won the 6th Region 19 times. 14 of those 19 regional winners have made it to the Final Four in the state tournament. Eight of the 14 Final Four teams advanced to play in the championship game, and four of those eight teams have won the state championship. Since Coach Miller started coaching in 1980, only one other team from Louisville has won the Kentucky state championship -- St. Xavier way back in 1981. No titles for perennial Louisville powers Trinity, Male, Ballard, Eastern, Butler, or Manual from 1980-2012.

These are absolutely sick numbers imo.

Obviously you are very close to the program, can you share players names colleges and bigs? Certainly has to be a handful if not more.

 

I found the stat regarding the Louisville Powers to be very interesting as well. Just one of the Bigs have won a state title since 1981.

 

There must be a recipe for the best baseball in Louisville being played at PRP and I guess it has to be Coach Miller. Congrats!!!

Too many to name. Three Mr. Baseballs -- Scott Downs (1995), Brad Corley (2002), and Zack Cox (2008). Downs was a first-team all SEC pitcher at UK and has been in the big leagues for over 10 years. Corley was a first-team all SEC player at Mississippi State and was the 2nd round pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2005 draft (behind Andrew McCutchen). Corley made it to AA ball before yielding to shoulder problems. Cox was a first-team all SEC player at Arkansas and was a first round selection of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2010 draft. He is currently playing AAA ball for the Miami Marlins and should be in the bigs soon.
