Scouting Report
: Mills possesses four average pitches, but mixes them masterfully with phenomenal command. His fastball sits at 87-88 mph and occasionally reaches the low-90s. Fastball comes in three varieties: a straight four-seamer, a two-seamer with some good late movement, and a nice sinker. Also mixes in a very good changeup, an occasional out-pitch slider, and a solid, but not spectacular, knuckle curve. Groundball pitcher with a deceptive delivery. Consistent. Excellent focus on the mound. Could stand to add some muscle. Average-to-above-average pickoff move.
