Anderson Miller figurine

Former Western Kentucky standout Anderson Miller will be recognized with a figurine depicting his Kentucky ties at Friday’s Lexington Legends game at Whitaker Bank Ballpark.  Western Kentucky is sponsoring the giveaway.

The figurine, which will be given to the first 1,000 fans at Friday’s game, depicts Miller wearing a Legends jersey, a WKU batting helmet and baseball pants from Lafayette High School.  Miller is the first Lexington native to play for the Legends, who began operations in 2001.

Since returning from wrist surgery June 6, Miller is batting .377 (26 for 69) in 21 games.  He had missed about seven weeks.  For the season, he is at .318 in 32 games.

Miller was a third-round choice by the Kansas City Royals in the June 2015 first-year player draft.
