Wayne Miller joined the UMBC softball staff as an assistant coach in October 2006.
Miller has coached with the Maryland Chill Fast Pitch program since 2001. Prior to that, he served as a little league baseball coach for several years.
Miller played football at Salisbury University, but began playing ASA men’s fast pitch and modified fast-pitch softball in 1979. As an ASA modified fast pitch player, he competed in four ASA men’s national tournaments with three top-10 finishes. In 1984, his team won the class “A” national championship, and Miller hit .545 as the center fielder. A year later, his team won the Major Division Maryland state championship and placed seventh at nationals, where he hit .478. Miller also attended two additional Major Nationals as a guest player and designated hitter.
“Wayne is one of the best travel ball coaches in the Mid-Atlantic,” French said. “He brings a dynamic personality to our staff and an abundance of playing and coaching experience.”
With the Retrievers, Miller will primarily serve as catching instructor and defensive coordinator.
Miller lives in Sykesville, Md., with his wife Carole. They have two children, Chad, 21, and Whitney, 18, a freshman second baseman at UNC-Greensboro.
