Head Coach Rob Miller returns for his sixth season at
the helm of the Spire baseball program. A native
of Garnett, Kan., Miller is entering his 23rd season
of coaching baseball.
Miller began coaching
in 1986 with the American Legion program
in Garnett. He then moved to Leavenworth
to become the head coach at Leavenworth
High School in 1993. After five competitive
seasons with the Pioneers, Miller entered
the collegiate ranks in 1998 as the
assistant head coach/pitching coach
at Missouri Western State College in St Joseph,
Mo. Miller worked at MWSC for three
seasons, improving the
pitching squad from ninth in the MIAA
Conference to third in total team earned
run average.
During his first two seasons at USM,
the program showed dramatic improvement.
His record stands at 115-122-1, earning the
program's first winning season in 2004, and the first KCAC Tournamnet Championship in 2005.
Along with the many positive accomplishments
on the field, the Spires also take pride
in higher academic production as well
as many college and community service
experiences.
Miller's experience in teaching and
coaching provides a strong foundation
for the Spire baseball program. "I
expect a strong work ethic and I promote positive values both on and
off the playing field," Miller said. "The
University of Saint Mary provides a
quality learning atmosphere where student-athletes
are given many opportunities to excel.
I am pleased to be at Saint Mary."
Coach Miller is a 1990 graduate of
Emporia State University. He and his
wife Amy reside in Leavenworth with
their son, Sam and daughter, Grace.
