Would be natural at 2nd. I said in a thread last week, LSU needs to move to that 6’2” rangy guy with pop, like the guy at Florida

Odds are against him becoming a MLB regular but could make it as a utility IF

He needs to go

He like many better players before him will not sniff the show.

He’s like 4’6” and does not have Altuve power

It’s been talked about a good bit. He’s very short, his base running is lack luster and his bat needs work. Period. The biggest con he has is measurable. If you are going to be short you have to make up for it in every other measurable and he can’t.
Can’t believe this has 17 upvotes to 2 downvotes
He can and will play SS in professional baseball. His height isn’t a huge issue. Hitting for power with wood will be the biggest question he faces.
At the end of the day he walks more than he K’s(108:86), and has hit .305/410/514
This is much more well rounded player than you give him credit for. MLB teams yearns for guys that can play the position and be a hard out at the plate. He fits that bill.

Shhhhhhh ....

Yes certainly and it would also help if he had Trindon H speed or Spud Webb hops. He would be the shortest player in the MLB

I saw where MLB ranked 200 top prospects for 2026. There was no Milam & a number of SEC SS were picked in these rankings. Don’t know much about HS infielders but definitely was a bit shocked he not listed Might be good news tho , if he, his family & advisors decide returning to Tigers is in his best interest
He’s a 2B at best on the next level.

If he didn't hit a HR.....he was OUT!!

But thats the entire point of my post! If he announces a switch now he could potentially save himself years of “riding the bus” in a balls and shoot up the ladder quicker as a catcher. Just a thought!
Don’t take this personally but that might be the dumbest fricking thought I’ve ever seen on this board

Hope you are correct. Major league managers could probably tell you how many hits his height would cost them in a season. But, he is good, but would that cancel out x number of hits? Probably not, because there are taller prospects that are just as good, or will cost them less hits on the plays that Milam might make that they couldn't. I can see if he was a 350 hitter with just a tad more power, getting a chance. But he isn't.
That being said, I hope if he goes he gets drafted and does great!
But, I hope he stays and gets good money for one more year.

He has an above average glove. Everything else is average or below average.
To everyone that thinks he is the next Ozzie Smith, take off the P&G glasses.

What’s the goal in the 4th-5th round of the draft? Pretend you’re getting someone with mlb potential or draft a fantastic baseball player that will do well at lower levels for several years?
Posted on 5/29/26 at 7:29 pm to jeffsdad
Sucks to be born short, especially for professional athletes.

The very reason his mom is pumping him for a pay raise at LSU…..

What you see is what you get
Not much helium or projectibilty as a prospect

lol he makes a ton of plays taller players don’t. He’s been that good. The MLB is littered with short infielders.
