Finally...A complete common sense pitching formula for parents and coaches that ends the confusion on what pitchers should really be doing to improve!

ANNOUNCING: New Pitching Book
"How To Build And Develop The Natural Explosive Pitcher"

by Dick Mills

A complete handbook written for parents and coaches looking for uncommon pitching solutions for improving velocity and control while reducing are injuries all backed by cold-hard scientific evidence!

...discover exactly why more pitchers are not reaching their full potential, why so many are getting injured and how to help them boost their performance before it's too late

Dear Friends And Clients,
Do you wonder why pitchers are not improving today with all the professional instruction? Why just about every pitcher is trying to improve his velocity even though they weight train and do long toss? Why control is so poor and why there are so many arm injuries?

Did you know that arm injuries have skyrocketed ten times over a recent 7 year period and that 45% of Little League and 60% of high school pitchers routinely pitch with pain. Even Little League pitchers are having elbow surgery.

This should be a big concern for parents and coaches. But there is a reason why this is all happening and a way to stop it.

If you ever wanted to know the real truth about how to boost pitching performance that is all backed-up by scientific evidence instead of coaches' beliefs - all time-tested and proven - then there is a new pitching book on how to build and develop the natural explosive pitcher. A pitcher that naturally throws harder with better control and less stress because he uses his body instead of his arm.

And because he doesn't waste time on practice activities that have not proven to work.

This could be the most important information you have ever had on how to boost pitching performance... whether your son is just starting to pitch, getting ready to go into high school, hoping for a college scholarship, or is dreaming about getting drafted and having a career in pro ball.

Look no further. This book has the answers that the large majority of baseballs coaches at all levels do not know about. These are secrets learned from new sports science research that will turn the world of baseball upside down.

This book does not follow common pitching beliefs based only on a former professional pitcher's experience. It dispels the many current myths being taught about how to best help a pitcher reach his full God-given potential.

Today, based on new sports science research, pitchers are wasting as much as 50% of their practice time on activities that do not work to create improvement. Maybe as much as 75%.

Imagine learning years too late that the large majority of pitchers at the high school and college level wasted a great deal of their valuable time on activities that could not have helped them improve. Activities that most coaches have been recommending for years such as long toss, weight lifting, pre-game stretching, weighted balls, flat ground throwing instead of mound pitching, towel drills or throwing bullpens at less than game intensity or just not practicing enough...all designed for improvement. Popular activities that have no scientific basis for improving performance. In fact, activities that sports science has proven cannot work...ever. Some being dangerous.

It seems that baseball coaches have not figured out yet that pitching is first and foremost a mechanical skill activity rather than a strength activity. This idea, this misunderstanding has held back and probably ruined more pitchers than any single thing.

My name is Dick Mills. You may not know me but I am well known nationally in baseball circles. My website www.pitching.com is the oldest pitching website...online since August of 1996. I played six years for the Red Sox and briefly in the big leagues. I have been a professional instructor nearly my entire adult life but more than that a never-ending researcher looking for new answers to help pitchers improve. I finally found those answers by looking at scientific research instead of following popular pitching gurus.

In 2006 I coauthored the first and only scientific book on pitching titled - The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching - A Coach's Handbook For Scientific Pitching. Co-authored with a world renown sports scientist, Dr. Brent Rushall, it is the first evidence based book on pitching ever that is backed by sports science research. In fact, it may be the first evidence-based baseball book ever. A 624 page, nearly 4 lb. volume with over 500 scientific references that disprove many of the current "popular" pitching performance myths that many coaches are recommending to improve performance.

That book priced at $97, the most expensive instructional baseball book ever, quickly sold out and is now out of print. Copies now will be collectors items.

The part of that book that I wrote - The Art of Pitching has been revised and updated and retitled - How To Build And Develop The Natural Explosive Pitcher. At just 1/2 the price of a pitching lesson this may be the biggest bargain in pitching instruction today.

Here are some of the rave reviews we got from that book:

Gotta Have It! Guys listen up. Everyone of you needs this book. Along with the money I spent on this DVD program this is some of the smartest money ever spent. I can easily discuss with others the scientific basis for doing what we do and why we do it. It has helped me understand even better the ultimate goal to achieve and how to get there. When I explained to my 13 yr old son that if he understood the items in this book he would be ahead of 99.9% of the kids he got really excited and has read some. Buy it as soon as you can. It will help you take you or your sons training to the next level.

"Nationally, (my son) is one of the top pitchers at the high school level after being recruited by more than 150 colleges and began to work with Dick Mills' pitching program in 2000 at the age of 11. The ideas and principles in Dick Mills' new book, The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching, will help Mark to become an even better pitcher, and more importantly will permit him to avoid many aspects of the "conventional pitching wisdom community." Dr. Rushall (coauthor) has opened up to us a new world of evidence based sports training principles and applied them rigorously to pitching. The result of Dick Mills' and Dr. Rushall's work is a new paradigm for pitching instruction and training. The practical consequence is that pitchers and their coaches have a scientifically based roadmap for success. The tenets of this book give great clarity to what pitchers should focus on and what they should avoid. This book leapfrogs beyond other pitching books on the library shelf"
Dr. Scott Adzcik, M.D. , Harerford, PA

"I received my copy of The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching three days ago. All I can say is that it's AWESOME. This book puts so many things under one cover and in reasonable, easy to understand language and with research that is documented and footnoted. I can tell you this - your book will cause massive cognitive dissonance for those that are open minded enough to read it. Your book belongs on the top rung of baseball pitching books. I can only hope that your book and method finds its way throughout the pitching universe. I will never be without this book."
Richard Dondes, East Brunswick, NJ

"By the way I received the book on wednesday I have been reading your section first and I'm already on the part where you compare a high-school pitcher with a major league pitcher and by reading your information on that and the information previous to that about long-toss and weighted balls, it has cleared up everything, all the confusion I had, the book explains how to fix it perfectly. Compliments to You and Dr. Rushall the book is incredible; anyone who reads this and you have not purchased the book yet I highly recommend you do reading a few pages, I notice my velocity and control has improved, best investment i've made yet."
Thanks again, Elias (15 year old), Miami, Fl

"I find The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching by Dick Mills and Dr. Brent Rushall an important resource - based on up-to-date data supported by scientific studies that every modern day pitching caoch would benefit from. Perhaps more important, it dispels many of the myths involving the process of teaching the art of pitching. This book is a 'must' read for anyone wanting to step into the modern-day art and science of baseball pitching."

Ed Broussard, pitching instructor, Baton Rouge, La

Here's what you'll learn in this new revised book that could change forever how you look at baseball pitching:

  • How all the common falacies and myths started back in the early 70's based on unfounded coaching beliefs
  • Pitchers are failing today because they are not taught how to use their body to produce velocity...too much focus on the arm.
  • Pitching instructors are teaching disruptive and negative actions such as various drills that have been proven to produce slow and robotic pitchers instead of explosive ones.
  • These negative and irrelevant actions taught by well meaning instructors lead to reduced performance and increase the likelihood or arm injuries
  • Pitching velocity has proven to have little to do with arm strength or full body strength from weight training...but everything to do with full body explosive actions where the body delivers the arm like a whip
  • Pitching improvement is rather simple. Replace all the slow, robotic and erroneous movements with correct natural and explosive movement patterns
  • If strength is a key factor for improving pitching velocity as most coaches believe then how do small skinny pitchers like Giants Tim Lincecum at 5'10" 170 lbs. throw 95-100 mph?
  • Why videotaping is the single most important improvement tool for pitchers of all ages
  • Why training aids such as weighted balls are nothing more than hype that have not proven to work
  • Why long toss may be the biggest problem that stops pitchers from improving and why it leads to more and more arm injuries. (Included is a PowerPoint presentation I gave at last's years ASMI Baseball Injuries seminar.)
  • Photo examples of 25 common pitching faults that reduce performance and lead to arm injuries
  • How to develop a pitching strategy against every hitter
  • How to throw all the pitches fastball, cutter, curveball, slider and change-up
  • How to create and use ball movement
  • Power production mechanics comparison of a major league pitcher and a high school pitcher
  • Mechanics out of the wind-up and stretch positions
  • The many falacies of of baseball conditioning and strength training
  • Why pitching drills are a huge part of reduced velocity and performance

Imagine investing in a pitching clinic that was all based on just the experience of the instructor whose beliefs are actually counter to proven sports science training principles....principles that have been proven over time in all of sports? And yet baseball has turned a deaf ear. I call those types of clinics or indoor baseball schools mostly "expensive experiences" because following them can not only cost you a good chunk of change but worse can completely mess up your son's mechanics thereby costing him both velocity and control...or worse another arm injury.

I have seen too many top level high school pitchers and pro prospects who have lost velocity and control once they got to college and followed the training beliefs of their pitching coaches. One such college pitcher even followed the advice of a known pitching guru...lost 7 mph on his fastball and possibly as much as $500,000 to a million dollars in bonus money. And he never got that velocity back, got discouraged and had a brief but disappointing pro career. He and his parents were heart broken. All because he followed the belief of a nationally known pitching authority who used "belief based" instead of "evidence based" instruction.

What would it be worth to you to have a fully researched "reference book" at your fingertips on every facet of baseball pitching so that when you needed an answer you did not have to listen to the opinions or strong beliefs of coaches or instructors but instead could turn to sports science for proven answers? Would that not be worth 1/2 the price of a pitching lesson?

But STOP! This Book Is Not For Everyone

Let me tell you who should read this book and who shouldn't read it.

Don't buy this book if you believe that there are any magic bullets for improving pitching performance...especially velocity. Let's be clear on one thing. There is a formula for reaching peak pitching performance. And that is what this book is about. A clear-cut fully researched and proven formula that when followed can lead to gains that most pitchers and coaches never thought possible based on what is currently being practiced.

This applies to not only high school and college pitchers but top pros as well. For a top pitching prospect - high school, college or minor league pitcher...this book could literally be worth millions.

Remember most pitchers at this point may be wasting as much as 50% of their time on activities that will not help them become better pitchers. That is what is costing pitchers from having far better careers.

Don't buy this book if the pitcher you are trying to help is not willing to work and work hard. Ask him now. Is he willing to put in the time to build his pitching skills? Have him read this. Most kids just don't want to do the work required.

If you are looking for a short-cut or some magic or instant anything rather than proven training principles then stop reading this right now. This book is not for you.

Who Must Read This Book

Who then should read this book? Certainly every parent of an aspiring pitcher just starting out in Little League. Every baseball coach from Little League, high school, and college should immediately get their hands on this. Who else should read it? Concerned parents of high school, college and minor league pitchers as an insurance policy of helping their sons reach their full potential.

Sports science research has proven that pitching is not a strength activity. And stretching or too much flexibility leads to not only a loss in velocity but a big increase in risk of arm injury. The studies prove it. Thus why pitchers should never stretch before pitching. Never.

There is a freeze-frame video analysis of a major league pitcher who threw 100 mph comparing his mechanics to those of a high school pitcher throwing low 80.s. You will discover why most high school pitchers are losing velocity and how they can improve it quickly by focusing on improving the mechanics instead of their arm strength.

This is also a book for parents who are serious about insuring that their sons will have the best opportunity to reach their full 'God given' potential in both high school, college and professional baseball.

In fact, for parents trying to help their sons decide on a college program...this will give them guidance and help them ask pointed questions about each school's conditioning, training and mechanics philosophy which may have a big impact on their son's ultimate decision. If long toss, weight lifting, throwing weighted balls or pitching drills are a big part of their program I suggest you look elsewhere. My wife Ginny and I hear stories regularly from parents whose son's were top pitchers in high school - even pro prospects - who were ruined in the hands of college coaches who were poorly informed using "belief based" mythical coaching techniques.

Instead this book should sit on the shelf of every baseball coach in the country who has always wondered how to improve his pitchers while reducing injuries. If professional baseball followed the advice in this book it could possibly save them millions and millions of dollars in wasted arm injuries while improving pitching performance exponentially.

Not knowing the information in these topics will put every pitcher at a serious disadvantage and worse - at the mercy of every coach who uses the same old pitching myths as his source of pitching instruction instead of proven sports science training principles.
