About Us

Ginny and Dick MillsMy wife Ginny and I started All About Pitching in 1995 after Ginny suggested I write a book about how I coached my son Ryan to become the top high school lefty in the country in 1995 (Baseball America magazine). Ryan went on to Arizona State where he was the starting pitcher in the final game of the College World Series in 1998. Ryan eventually was the Twins first round pick in the June draft—six pick overall. He pitched six years in the Twins organization making it to AAA.

Ginny talked me into writing my first book, The Ultimate Pitching Weapon, which I self-published in 1995. From that book, I launched our first video series, Pitching Mastery, in late 1996, at which point www.pitching.com came online.

In 1998, my wife Ginny and I wrote The Ultimate Strength And Conditioning Survival Guide. Ginny is a certified trainer with over 20 years of experience training athletes. She has a B.S. degree in food science and nutrition.

In 2004, our business made a radical change after I hired two sports scientists to consult with us before I decided to put all our videos on DVD. Prior to meeting these sports consultants, I would have been considered a traditional “belief-based” pitching instructor. However, from those many hours of listening to these sports scientists I completely changed my views on how pitching should be taught because the sports science research does not support the current “belief based” information that most coaches and instructors are currently teaching at all levels of baseball.

From the new research, I produced our new DVD series, titled Explosive Pitching, in 2004, the first pitching instruction program that is backed up using scientific evidence. Presently the large majority of baseball coaches provide instruction based solely on their beliefs with little if any of their information backed by scientific evidence based research.

For information about my DVDs, fill out the form below and we will mail you a 30-page information packet explaining why most current pitching information is not based on scientific evidence, and why that is reducing pitching performance and increasing injury risk.

In 2005, Dr. Brent Rushall, a world-renowned sports scientist with 45 years experience, agreed to cowrite an in depth reference book on pitching. His website is one of the largest sports science websites on the internet.

The book is titled The Science & Art of Baseball Pitching—A Coach’s Handbook For Scientific Pitching. This is the first fully researched book on pitching in the history of baseball. The book is 624 pages, nearly 4 lbs with over 500 scientific references. It was written for coaches at the high school, college, and professional levels, and for college and professional pitchers. This is not a book for the beginner coach or pitcher or parent who is not knowledgeable.
