Wichita Wind Surge Team President Jay Miller has announced his retirement from professional baseball after a 42-year career.
According to a news release from the team, Miller began his second stint as President of the Wind Surge in January of 2023 following the team’s sale to Diamond Baseball Holdings. Under his leadership, the team experienced the largest increase in attendance year-over-year across all of Minor League Baseball during the 2023 season. He first served as the inaugural President in team history from 2019-20, overseeing the groundbreaking and construction of Riverfront Stadium.
Over his four decades in professional baseball, Miller has been involved in opening five new ballparks and been part of nine championship winning teams. He is choosing to retire in order to spend more time with his family.
“I love the city of Wichita and the lifelong friendships I have made,” Miller said. “I feel very blessed to have had a career doing what I love. It’s all about the fans.”
