Steve Miller
"Not only did Steve Miller bring his exceptional baseball background to Archbishop Spalding High School, he also brought an enhanced knowledge of the game to both his Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. He is extremely perceptive and has the unique ability of being able to teach players and to get the most out of them."
-Parents of Archbishop Spalding High School Junior Brendan McGowan
"As a former college and professional player and scout, Steve Miller was able in two years to upgrade the entire program at my son’s high school and take them to the finals in their conference, a level unachieved in the school’s history.
Coach Miller’s dedication and willingness to spend the extra time with his players, not only on the field, but in attracting college recruiters was instrumental in improving my son Drew to the point where he won a significant baseball scholarship to a major Division I school, the University of Richmond.
I would highly recommend Coach Miller to anyone who has high baseball aspirations.
-Joe Poiter
" We would like to take this opportunity to speak of Steve Miller and Mike Toomey’s excellent coaching, teaching and evaluating abilities. Our high school baseball team’s success was mainly due to Steve Miller’s vast knowledge of the game. By combining his thorough knowledge along with his undying dedication to his players, our team had its most successful season in school history. For his tireless commitment, the Baltimore Sun named him the Anne Arundel Coach of the Year.
"On a personal level, both Steve Miller and Mike Toomey coached our son, Andrew, to achieve many successes in his senior year. This was evident when he was awarded the Athlete of the Year by the Baltimore Sun, Anne Arundel County, as well as many other accolades. Mike Toomey, who is employed by the Montreal Expos, encouraged Andrew to try a new, higher arm slot when pitching. This change enabled Andrew to have increased depth on his breaking ball, as well as, adding speed to his fast ball. Mike Toomey’s keen eye and knowledge of the game had instant impact on our son’s high school pitching career. Due to the involvement of both Steve Miller and Mike Toomey, our son was able to benefit from their expertise by acquiring a significant athletic scholarship to a Division 1 college.
"Because of their approach and demeanor towards players, our son, as well as his teammates, were quickly drawn to Steve and Mike on a professional and personal level. We know that our son’s relationship with these two fine baseball mentors will continue for years to come.
"For these reasons, we have the utmost respect for both men and highly recommend their services."
-Steve and Carol Germuth
