Scouting Report: Intelligent pitcher dominated collegiate competition in 2007.  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.
