If you go to the "Find" menu on your screen and type in his name, you will find the most recent discussions on his program.

How old are you? I presume at your size you're not 8 years old.

One bit of very simple advice, but advice often forgot: play a ton of catch (call it "long toss," to be fancy) and watch a lot of pitching on TV.

Tell Mom you want a full length door mirror in your room to make sure you are well dressed (Beware of heart attack risk). Pitch to your image.

Probably 95% of major league pitchers never bought a "course.".

Find some good FREE web resources--you've already found one of the best.

Im a junior in high school and I'm 17 years old.. I just starting pitching because the coach said that he wanted a lefty and Im the only one on the team.. Ive never been clocked on my fastball.. I'm not over powering but I dont throw 40 MPH.. trying to learn the basic pitches and mechanics.. any tips would help!!

Why not seek help from your HS coach since he requested that you try pitching !!!

I would start there

I have some of the Mill's stuff, and think its worthwhile. He's kinda old school, as in not believing in weighted balls, scap-loading, and all the new fads. He believes in throwing from a mound, good mechanics, pitch counts ,etc.

Alot of people are very fanatical about these so-called pitching gurus. I think Mill's has his head on pretty straight and offers solid advice. He believes there is no substitute for hard work. He is a big believer in core strength and flexibility. I have his dvd on this.

You could do alot worse... (imo, of course)

I have experience with several of the gurus with posative results. But I would recommend finding a good pitching coach that you can get individual lessons from. They can be very good at addressing your individual needs one step at a time without overloading you with information.

I am also intrested in the program.So far i have heard some positives and some negatives.
