Danny Miller
Danny Miller’s coaching journey is a testament to his unwavering commitment and impact on Frederick National Little League for an astounding 45 years. Beginning this journey at the age of 14, Danny’s dedication and leadership shone through as he progressed from assistant coach (1978-1984) to head coach (1985-2023). His impressive 545-237 record includes 18 league championships, five Frederick City championships, and two MarylandDistrict 2 Tournament of Champions titles. In his extensive tenure, Danny managed All-Star teams for both 9-10- and 11–12-year-olds, securing a total of 10 District 2 championships (three with the 9-10s, seven with the 11-12s). His 2000 9-10 All-Star team won the state title, 2012 9-10 team was state runner-up and 2019 11-12 team was the state runner-up. His role extends beyond coaching, as he served as the grounds crew at Staley Stadium, which is among the best Little League facilities in the region. Danny’s coaching legacy transcends sports, as he has also coached middle school girls’ basketball since 1999, showcasing his versatility and dedication to youth sports in the county. Despite coaching some of Frederick’s best players, including Doug Smallwood, Darnell Whims, Branden Kline, and Joey Hammond, Danny remains incredibly humble, deflecting credit to his players’ success. His positive influence is evident in the trust his parents place in him, making Danny Miller a cornerstone of the Frederick community and embodying the core values of caring and responsibility at the YMCA.
