Dick Mills pitching program

The worst pitching program available.

I used to cruise the Mills web site. It had a lot of verbosity and redundancy but there were a few nuggets there that helped us quite a bit. I never bought the program because, after reading his free web site content, the impression I had was that it would be a lot more of the same. Mills' emphasis on proper arm action and trunk rotation were very helpful to me in helping my son develop velocity and spot control, though.

I would suggest you could do better with a good hands-on professional coach, as far as where to spend your money. But I think Infopimp is overly harsh in his assessment. Frankly, I've seen plenty of pitching programs that could not only not help, but actually do damage. Mills' program is certainly not going to do damage and I think it can help, esp. if you're not already practicing some of the fundamentals he stresses.

Lots of people would disagree......

Damage?

Check out his son.

If you want a good, solid program, go with The Athletic Pitcher program by Pitching Central / Ron Wolforth out of Houston.

Dick Mills has changed his ideas or perhaps better said money making schemes more times than Liberachi changed his wardrobe in a concert. I had a set of his tapes given to me by my brotherinlaw and quite frankly after looking at them I came to the conclusion that Dick Mills at some point and time had extrememly successful charisma bypass surgery. Im all for being open to ideas and different techniques but I have yet to see a coach be able to BORE a person into becoming a better pitcher!

Good Morning brother Sparticus ! I agree !

Not a plus or a minus for Mills, but don't go by his son. He was good enough to get a $2 million signing bonus and didn't have any arm problems until he got to the minors.
