BASEBALL

The Miller School of Albemarle, with its unique emphasis on minds, hands, and hearts, seeks to prepare young women and men for success in college and in life. Likewise, the baseball program at MSA places a strong emphasis on developing the mind, making good, informed baseball decisions, the hands, the physical skills of throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, and running, and the heart, inspiring players to play with passion, confidence, pride, commitment, and integrity. While each of these is important on its own, when fostered together, they enable the game of baseball to be played well. At its heart, Miller’s baseball program is about development, preparing young men to play college baseball and beyond; but, just as important, it seeks to develop thoughtful, disciplined, considerate, and successful young men. “Focus, drive, and passion for excellence are what attracted me to Miller because I love the kid who isn’t afraid to achieve life’s riches through hard work!”

Billy Wagner is a former left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher. One of the most unique pitchers in the history of baseball, he combined a deceptive delivery with a 95-100 MPH fastball. He pitched for the Houston Astros (1995–2003), the Philadelphia Phillies (2004–2005), the New York Mets (2006–2009), the Boston Red Sox (2009), and the Atlanta Braves (2010).

Playing for the Atlanta Braves on June 25, 2010, Billy earned his 400th Career Save, making him just the 5th player in baseball history to reach this plateau.
