But What Would ASMI Say?
One of the things I love about baseballblogs.org is the infinite variety of subspecies out there, one of which I stumbled across today in the guise of Dick Mills The Baseball Pitching Rebel. Mills had an unsuccessful and brief career with the Red Sox, lasting all of three and two-thirds innings in 1970. He since has held a number of jobs but has recently turned himself back towards providing advice to young pitchers. He claims Barry Zito as his most famous client, as well as his son, Ryan Mills, who garnered a $2M signing bonus in 1998. Ryan subsequently stalled in AAA, and Baseball America even went so far as to name him the worst sixth choice since the inception of the draft. Velocity isn't everything, I suppose, and you can't learn craftiness. But that hasn't stopped Mills pére from giving advice, and he has a lot to say about almost any pitching-related subject you could care to mention (e.g., the famous towel drill). It makes for interesting reading, even if you really have no clue who's right.
