Big change in the front office for the Sugar Land Skeeters (independent; Atlantic League), as long-time MiLB and MLB exec Jay Miller is new president of the team.
Miller, during two separate stints, served more than a decade with the Round Rock Express as inaugural General Manager, Team President and COO of Ryan-Sanders Baseball. Between stints in Round Rock, Miller served four years with the Texas Rangers as Executive Vice President focused on customer experience. Throughout his career, Miller has received a variety of awards and his teams set numerous attendance records. In 2005, Miller was awarded Baseball America Executive of the Year after breaking the Texas League attendance record for the fourth consecutive season. Miller has long been credited for his focus on the fans and employee morale.
“We’re extremely excited that Jay has joined our team,” Skeeters owner Bob Zlotnik said. “He brings a wealth of experience and baseball knowledge to our organization. Jay’s focus on customer service and enhancing the overall experience for patrons and sponsors is unparalleled in the industry.”
“I am fired up to work with the Skeeters and the Zlotnik family.” Miller said. “This is a family whose first priority is the fan and that is what I am all about! I love the fans and I look forward to a long lasting relationship. Sugar Land is a beautiful city and Constellation Field is a great venue.”
